This procurement, classified under the industry category of auditing services (CPV 79212000), aims to support local businesses by providing targeted business support and insights into education needs. The process is currently at the tender stage with an open procedure method below the threshold valued at £45,000. Key details include the tender period ending on 10th March 2025 at 09:30 and the project taking place between 24th March 2025 and 31st March 2025. The study is to be conducted in Worksop, with delivery addresses linked to the S80 2AH postal code. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing and consultancy services, particularly those focusing on skills and education needs analysis. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to compete, providing them a platform to showcase their capabilities. Successful engagement in this project will allow businesses to demonstrate their expertise in a public sector environment, potentially leading to further contracts and expanded business opportunities. By contributing valuable insights and support to the Council, businesses can strengthen their portfolio and influence the development of higher education facilities in the region. ## Notice To enable the Council to support businesses to engage with opportunities, offer targeted business support, and evidence skills and education needs to secure the delivery of higher education courses in the district, from facilities such as The Bridge Skills Hub in Worksop and the West Burton Training Centre (from September 2028), we need to understand demand. This work is being done in addition to existing studies but where possible, should take into consideration wider work that is taking place and where we can draw on, share knowledge and intelligence. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64810518-1319-443f-b317-5de79c910654 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 10 Mar 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Mar 2025 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | 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 | BASSETLAW DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | WORKSOP | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S80 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF15 North Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Bassetlaw | | Electoral ward | Worksop South | | Westminster constituency | Bassetlaw | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79212000 - Auditing services ## Release History - 20 Feb 2025 at 08:31 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64810518-1319-443f-b317-5de79c910654 - 11 Feb 2025 at 09:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64810518-1319-443f-b317-5de79c910654 - 10 Feb 2025 at 14:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64810518-1319-443f-b317-5de79c910654 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64810518-1319-443f-b317-5de79c910654 20th February 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/67067a0d-d227-4475-8fbf-5b3675b795bf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/065fb00d-1393-4614-81b0-07d22f924340 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5a5c2145-ebe4-4950-b79e-48ba742e8a65 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
