Notice Title

Provide Strategic Support to Marketing Cheshire, pending appointment of new Managing Director

Notice Description

This tender seeks to procure Strategic Support for Marketing Cheshire pending the appointment of a new Managing Director from a high-quality provider or providers that will deliver a service that is demonstrably focused around the needs of The LEP. It is being conducted as a below threshold open tender, with the tender documents comprising this ITT. This ITT sets out the information which is required in order to assess the suitability of bidders in terms of their experience, suitability, approach and price to meet the requirements of The LEP. Following the conclusion of the tender exercise, the LEP may appoint more than one bidder to undertake some or all of this commission. The successful bidder will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and are fully reflected in their pricing. The contract is expected to commence on 6 March 2023, with the exact date to be agreed with the successful provider or providers. It will be awarded for an initial period of up to six months with an option to extend for a further three months depending on the satisfactory performance of the contractor(s) and progress with the recruitment of the new Managing Director. If that proceeds more quickly than expected, the LEP reserves the right to terminate the contract early, giving 30 days notice. If you have any specific questions concerning this document or the process for submission of your proposal, then please email through to: tenders@cheshireandwarrington.com no later than noon on Friday 17th February. Only questions submitted to this email address will be answered. Queries received after this date will not be accepted and will not be responded to. It would be most helpful if queries could be submitted in one email rather than piecemeal. If any question or request for clarification is considered to be of material significance, both the question and the response may be issued for review by all potential providers in a suitably anonymous form. All communication received from potential providers will be treated in strict confidence but are subject to this paragraph. The closing date and time for the receipt of submissions is 16:00 hours (4pm) on Friday 24th February. Late submissions will not be accepted.
