This procurement falls under the services industry category and is relevant for businesses that have experience in proofreading services (CPV code: 79821100). The tender is currently in the open procedure stage, with a submission deadline set for 5 December 2018. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 17 December 2018 and will run until 31 March 2020, with the total contract value approximately £28,500, and a minimum payment of £25,000. Services will be required primarily in West Midlands and London. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in proofreading and editing, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality work within tight deadlines. With Ofwat's focus on producing clear communications for stakeholders, businesses that can demonstrate relevant expertise and a capacity for project-based work will be well-positioned to compete. Given the nature of the projects, companies with flexible staffing solutions and experience in regulatory language adaptation will find this opportunity particularly beneficial for growth. ## Notice Ofwat has a number of key publications to be published each year to a challenging timetable. In particular, we are currently (2018-19) making decisions within our price review. One of the ways we regulate is to set the price, investment and service package that customers receive. This includes setting limits on the prices the companies can charge their customers. We currently carry out a review of these price limits every five years. This will need to be widely published to our Stakeholders and other interested parties in clear and easy to understand language. The work shall be project based as commissioned by the Customer's Project Manager. The Supplier shall be given at least two working days' notice of the start of each project work unless agreed otherwise between the parties. This is a guide only and there may be occasions where less notice is given particularly where the project work is ad hoc (i.e. not identified as a specific project within this document). Where the work relates to Water 2020 draft methodology consultation and final methodology consultation then the Supplier shall operate on the basis of the information given in this document as notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75fcea91-9c8a-44e7-a190-3de09056e40d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 5 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Dec 2018 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £28,500 | | 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 | WATER SERVICES REGULATION AUTHORITY (OFWAT) | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B5 4UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79821100 - Proofreading services ## Release History - 21 Nov 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75fcea91-9c8a-44e7-a190-3de09056e40d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75fcea91-9c8a-44e7-a190-3de09056e40d 21st November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV155934 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.ofwat.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
