## Summary

The procurement process for the "Mutuals Partnership Support Programme" is being conducted by The Department For Culture Media & Sport, located in London, England. The project falls under the industry category of 'Other services' and is currently in the Award stage, following its completion. The tender period concluded on 26th October 2017, and the contract was awarded on 3rd November 2017, with a contract duration running from 21st November 2017 until 31st March 2019. The total value of the contract is £215,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have the capacity to engage in partnerships to effectively compete for contracts. The focus on building capacity and capability to bid for work collaboratively means that firms with experience in consultancy, project management, and partnership development would be particularly well-suited to participate in the programme. Engaging in this tender could help such businesses expand their service offerings and strengthen their position in the market.

## Notice

DCMS is seeking a Supplier to: a) assess and produce a publishable report on the potential for PSMs to partner with other organisations to bid for work they could not successfully bid for alone b) promote, design and, on a call-down basis, provide professional advice and assistance to PSMs to build their capacity and capability to consider and, where appropriate, develop partnerships to bid for contracts they would be unable to bid for alone (for example, due to lack of size, balance sheet strength, or scope of service expertise) c) capture and share lessons on the merits, challenges, process and support needs for developing such partnerships with DCMS and the broader PSM sector, and d) evaluate the effectiveness of this programme of support.
