## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking to enhance workforce diagnostics through its "Future Proofed Workforce Program - Diagnostic Services" tender. This programme aims to support local businesses in recovering from COVID-19 by conducting up to 250 workforce-focused diagnostics. The tender process has been completed, with the award dated 20th December 2021, and the contract period spanning from 10th January 2022 to 2nd September 2022. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, classified under business analysis consultancy services (CPV code 72221000) and aligned with other consultancy categories.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in business and management consultancy services. Firms that have strong connections within the local business community and can effectively engage with stakeholders relevant to Barnsley's workforce development will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. The potential for collaboration with various business membership organisations and local teams provides a robust platform for growth within the sector.

## Notice

We are looking to procure a provider to support Barnsley MBC in reaching a diverse and broad range of businesses across the borough, who will benefit from additional support to recover from COVID-19. The provider will undertake up to 250 workforce focused diagnostics with 250 businesses. Reaching out to businesses will include liaisons with businesses and key stakeholders across the borough, including wider local authority teams, business intermediaries, business membership organisations and workforce delivery scheme providers. We envisage that the provider will utilise their key contacts within the business community to refer businesses into the scheme along with referrals from other business support organisations.
