## Summary

Nottingham City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the tender titled "Public Engagement on the Structure of Local Government", classified under the research and development consultancy services sector. The procurement method used was an open procedure below the threshold, with the tender period concluding on 9 November 2018. The contract, which started on 19 November 2018, will run until 31 January 2019, with a total value of £41,736. The procurement was focused on gathering evidence for potential reorganisation of local government structures in Nottinghamshire, with fieldwork expected to be completed by 21 December 2018.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in local government structures, research, and evaluation services, particularly those with experience in unitary reorganisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find suitable ground to compete in this process, given the specific expertise required in navigating governmental consultations and the challenges inherent in such research. Businesses equipped with strong analytical skills and proven experience in consulting for public sector clients will be particularly well-positioned to benefit from this growth opportunity.

## Notice

Nottingham City Council is seeking tenders for a specialist consultancy service that would provide an evidence base to understand what the city geography should be if Nottinghamshire County Council makes a case for reorganisation. The consultation should be undertaken by an organisation that has specialist knowledge of carrying out previous research on unitary reorganisation and who understand the challenges involved in this. The fieldwork needs to be completed by 21 December 2018 with reporting in January 2019. This will allow the Council to consider the findings and make a decision as to whether there is enough evidence to support further consultation to work up proposals in response to Nottinghamshire County Council.
