This procurement, classified under 'Other community, social and personal services', has a total value of £300,000 and was published on 8th December 2017. The tender period concluded on 18th January 2018, and the expected contract commencement date is 1st April 2018, running until 31st March 2020. This open procurement process falls under the 'above threshold' category, inviting a broad range of submissions to meet local community needs in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for SMEs and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in delivering community services. Businesses with expertise in social care, wellbeing improvement, and community engagement will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By successfully securing a place in this procurement, organisations can not only contribute positively to local community outcomes but also secure steady funding over a two-year period, thereby enhancing their growth prospects in the public sector. ## Notice The Council currently funds a range of strategic services through the voluntary and community sector but arrangements are close to expiry. A consultation over the summer of 2017 engaged the local voluntary and community sector and the public in reviewing local need and desired outcomes for the future that would improve the wellbeing of people who live and work in the Borough and ensure best value for money. There is now a need to re-procure services for 2018-20 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8d98d02-474c-418f-bc78-12c9dff3c655 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Mar 2018 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £273,381 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WELLAND PROCUREMENT UNIT | | Locality | WELLINGBOROUGH | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN8 1BP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Croyland and Swanspool | | Westminster constituency | Wellingborough and Rushden | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 8 | | Supplier names | CEN CITIZEN'S ADVICE; GLAMIS HALL FOR ALL; HEMMINGWELL COMMUNITY AND SKILLS CENTRE; NENE VALLEY COMMUNITY ACTION; NORTHAMPTONSHIRE RIGHTS AND EQUALITY COUNCIL; SHIRE COMMUNITY SERVICES; THE TEAMWORK TRUST; VICTORIA CENTRE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 21 Mar 2018 at 12:01 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8d98d02-474c-418f-bc78-12c9dff3c655 - 8 Dec 2017 at 11:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d439826e-4fa6-43e8-8299-8987b6de238e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c8d98d02-474c-418f-bc78-12c9dff3c655 21st March 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d439826e-4fa6-43e8-8299-8987b6de238e 8th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c446528f-114b-4bec-88e9-9ea08db6f066 Document 1 Instructions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/84e494b8-fcc6-4692-b96d-f514e277f586 Document 2 Service Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4cb28e0a-abd3-4df5-8c6d-27cec179805a Document 3 Draft Terms and Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1efa9e0c-d603-4c00-a6b0-9c4ca4046b56 Document 4 Tender Return ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
