The procurement process, which involves specialist consultancy services, is set to close on 29th July 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 30th September 2021 and will last for a maximum of three years, delivering services primarily in the financial and insurance sector. The project location is in West Midlands, United Kingdom, and the total value of the contract is £1,750,000. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in financial services, legal expertise, leisure management, social care/health, and digital implementation. Companies that can demonstrate their capacity to support local authorities in transforming service delivery and improving financial stability would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The framework allows for a flexible approach, potentially appointing up to three consultancies in each of the specialist fields outlined, creating a competitive bidding environment for qualified businesses. ## Notice In common with many other local authorities, Stoke-on-Trent City Council is facing significant challenges in establishing a stable financial position. After several years of streamlining services, the authority has taken the view that it needs a more fundamental evaluation of service delivery options. This includes which services it should be delivering and how those services should be delivered. The Council is seeking to appoint specialist consultants to support this objective, through a framework. These comprise: A single Strategic Transformation Partner (STP) (Lot 1) Four specialist disciplines: Legal, Leisure, Social Care/Health; Digital Implementation (Lots 2-5). There will be a maximum of 3 specialist consultancies in each Lot, but the Council reserves the right to appoint as few as 1. The STP will guide the overall transformation work, whilst appointing from the other suppliers (in Lots 2-5) on a call-off basis. The framework is expected to commence on 30th September and be 3 years in duration maximum. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d74e6d78-95c2-412a-9464-8dcd6bf5a68c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Sep 2021 - 30 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,750,000 | | 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 | STOKE-ON-TRENT CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | STOKE-ON-TRENT | | Post town | Stoke-on-Trent | | Postcode | ST4 1HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG23 Stoke-on-Trent | | Local authority | Stoke-on-Trent | | Electoral ward | Hartshill Park & Stoke | | Westminster constituency | Stoke-on-Trent Central | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 28 Jun 2021 at 16:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d74e6d78-95c2-412a-9464-8dcd6bf5a68c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d74e6d78-95c2-412a-9464-8dcd6bf5a68c 28th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=91b01fd5-28d8-eb11-810c-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.stoke.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
