Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council, in collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council, is planning a procurement process for the "Lanarkshire Business Gateway Services". This initiative falls under the services industry category and is aimed at providing comprehensive support and advice for both start-up and existing businesses in the Lanarkshire area. The initial call for market engagement, captured in a Prior Information Notice (PIN), is scheduled for communication on 26 June 2020, with a deadline for interested service providers to submit their questionnaires by 5 PM on 5 June 2020. The project is valued at approximately £7,600,000 and is subject to funding from the European Regional Development Fund until March 2023.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses that offer consulting and support services, particularly those that cater to start-ups and established enterprises. Service providers that specialise in business development, advisory services, and event organisation would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement. Firms engaged in public sector services in Scotland should consider participating, as the successful contractor will benefit from a long-term relationship with both North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Councils, enhancing their capability to grow in the region.
