## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Council has completed a tender titled "Traded Services Review", aimed at assessing the viability and sustainability of their current traded services operations. This procurement falls within the business services industry category and was specifically structured to evaluate the financial impact of support services provided to various sectors including schools, charities, and local authorities. The contract was valued at £47,200 and the contract period spanned from 28 September 2020 to 31 December 2020, with the tender process officially concluded as of 26 September 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and financial assessment, particularly those capable of conducting comprehensive reviews of service operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in evaluating service delivery models and measuring value for money would be well-suited to engage in such tenders. Companies that can demonstrate strong analytical capabilities and a history of delivering actionable recommendations are likely to find this type of procurement particularly advantageous.

## Notice

The Council is currently providing a wide range of support services to schools, academies, social care settings, charities, SMEs and other local authorities. However, there a perception that our traded services operations do not contribute positively to the Council's financial bottom line. This review is urgently required to assess: 1). Is Traded Services a viable/sustainable model? 2). Does Traded Services deliver value for money? 3) What is the true cost to deliver Traded Services? This review aims to provide a robust and well evidenced set of recommendations on how to take Traded Services forward in a more sustainable way.
