Notice Title
NP11 Strategic Support for the Northern Place & Culture Partnership
Notice Description
On behalf of the NP11 (Northern Powerhouse 11) group of Local Enterprise Partnerships, and the Northern Place & Culture Partnership which the NP11 convenes, the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership ("The LEP") is seeking to procure capacity to support the development and delivery of the Place & Culture Partnership's programme; which seeks to convene partners in the delivery of improved nature, cultural, and heritage assets that deliver stronger, more inclusive growth. Initial thinking is for a senior individual contracted for 32 hours per week, embedded within the NP11 team and reporting into the Partnership Steering Group, with additional support aligned with the project objectives (see below) as required; however, we are open to alternative arrangements that add value. The contract is expected to complete by 22nd December 2023. Working closely with members of the Partnership, activity will be focused on the actions identified in the recently agreed Delivery Framework (attached), coordinating supporting activity, and providing ad hoc support to the Partnership in delivery of the programme. The contract is expected to commence w/c 20th February 2023, with the exact dates to be agreed depending on the agreement between the successful provider and The LEP, on behalf of NP11. The principal benefits include; - Ability to maximise opportunities for best value and efficient services. - To allow bidders to explore efficiencies, which may be possible by suggesting innovative and cost-effective solutions. - Presentation of cost savings to The LEP in order to maximise economical operational efficiency and value for money. - A resultant contract that meets the tender requirements and supports NP11 with their ambition. The Contract will be awarded for an initial period of 12 months, with an option to extend for another 12 months. During the contract life, the successful bidder will need to achieve continuous improvement. Failure to do so may result in the contract being terminated. Bidders are required to submit tenders in an electronic format (i.e. MS Word/PDF) of no more than four pages A4 detailing how you would approach this commission, including: - Your understanding of the brief and your ability to address key challenges, including provision of adequate capacity - Your understanding of NP11 and the specific political environment in which it operates. - Your experience of delivering work of similar focus, scale and budget - Names, job titles and short role descriptions of the people who would work on this commission, noting their technical capabilities - A breakdown of costs, including details of your day rate and estimated days/ hours Submissions should be sent via email FAO David Levene to: tenders@cheshireandwarrington.com The closing date and time for the receipt of submissions and all requested documentation relating to this stage is 1700 1st February 2023. Late submissions will not be accepted.
