This initiative falls under the primary education services category and is designed to enhance educational outcomes for learners in the South West of England. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with applications for suppliers set to open annually around April/May, aiming for contract awards by September. This three-year dynamic purchasing system (DPS) will accept submissions until the deadline of 25th May 2018, with a total contract value of £450,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational consultancy services or those with experience in school leadership and local authority operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, particularly those equipped to deliver high-quality support and advisory services. Engaging with this procurement could enable these businesses to contribute positively to the educational landscape in South Gloucestershire while fostering growth through ongoing contracts with the Council. ## Notice South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) is a Unitary Authority in the South West of England serving a population of over 260,000. Integra is a South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) division who trade with schools, local public sector organisations, local businesses and provide services to the Council. Integra was established as a single 'Traded Services' team in 2011 when the catering, cleaning and professional support services were brought together within the Council and the majority of schools funding was devolved to schools. Traded Services formed a key part of the Council's strategy to protect high quality support services for schools, and continues to do so having been rebranded in 2015 as Integra, the trading arm of South Gloucestershire Council. Integra offer a suite of services including Schools Support, HR, health and safety, information management and IT. The School Improvement Adviser Service is part of the wider team of School Support offering effective, high quality education, pupil and professional support services as a key factor in raising standards and improving outcomes for all learners in South Gloucestershire. Schools subscribe to the School Improvement Adviser Service and all School Improvement Advisers are self-employed. The Council is seeking submissions from suitably experienced individuals, with a successful school leadership background or senior Local Authority experience, to take on the role of a School Improvement Adviser (SIA). The Council wishes to establish a local multi-supplier DPS and is managing this procurement in line with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Council will award the DPS as a central purchasing body for its own use. The duration of the DPS is 3 years. Applications for suppliers to be awarded a place on the DPS will usually be opened once per year, during April/May for award of contracts in September of the same year. The Council reserves the right to re-open the DPS for applications outside of the normal window, if there is a requirement for additional capacity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf3b789d-18ed-4907-863d-6259c0f71e67 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Apr 2018 | | Submission deadline | 25 May 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Sep 2018 - 2 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £450,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | YATE | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS37 5AF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Frampton Cotterell | | Westminster constituency | Thornbury and Yate | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80100000 - Primary education services - 80200000 - Secondary education services ## Release History - 30 Apr 2018 at 15:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf3b789d-18ed-4907-863d-6259c0f71e67 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bf3b789d-18ed-4907-863d-6259c0f71e67 30th April 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=020d66af-874c-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.southglos.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
