        "description": "South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) is conducting a strategic review of its financial services requirements. Our current Financial Services contract ends on 31 March 2027. For the next contract, we are exploring the feasibility of either lotting the contract (Lot 1: Financial Services, Lot 2: Section 151 Officer), or taking the Section 151 Officer role in house, and SDNPA is conducting preliminary market engagement with service providers to understand market capabilities and to understand possible approaches and associated risks, using a market engagement questionnaire. This preliminary market engagement concerns the Contracting Authority's intention to establish a contract or contracts for an estimated three-year initial term, with the option to extend for a maximum of three further years at the Contracting Authority's discretion. The extension(s) may be by a single period or successive periods of twelve months. A background document, outline specification and engagement questionnaire are available by emailing tenders@southdowns.gov.uk.",
