## Summary

The South Gloucestershire Council is currently in the active tender stage for a procurement titled "Contract Support for Procurement Savings Programme". This initiative aims to enhance the procurement function and achieve substantial financial savings while managing the increasing demand for social care services. The tender falls under the category of financial consultancy services and is located in the South West region of England. The open procurement process has a deadline for submissions set for 16 April 2018, with a contract period commencing from 1 May 2018 and concluding on 30 April 2020. The total value of the contract is £2,000,000.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial and procurement consultancy services. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender is designed to support diverse suppliers. With the Council's focus on reducing costs and improving financial efficiency, this contract could lead to further engagements for successful bidders, thus fostering growth in the consultancy sector.

## Notice

Like all local authorities, the financial challenges facing South Glos Council are significant and sustained. We have already achieved extensive savings and efficiencies over the past few years. However, there is still more to be done if we are to achieve a balanced and sustainable financial position in light of the ongoing reductions and changes to government funding, and the increasing demand for Social Care services. The Council is looking for expert help to support its procurement function and the achievement of significant savings on its spend with third party suppliers.
