The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to enhance local archive services through the "CHAS Feasibility Study - AWARD" project, which involves exploring options for a new archives centre in Sandwell. This initiative aims to replace underperforming facilities currently located at Smethwick Library and West Bromwich Town Hall. The contract, valued at £50,000 and awarded to Elizabeth Oxborrow-Cowan Associates Ltd, commenced on 2 January 2020 and is set to conclude on 31 December 2020. The procurement method used for this project was an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 30 November 2019. The main industry category involved is Business Development Consultancy Services, specifically in the realm of development consultancy.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses focused on consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in local government projects and archives management.

Companies with experience in public sector consultancy or those familiar with the challenges associated with archival standards would find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities.
