This initiative falls within the research and development services category and is located in Newbury, South East England. The procurement method used was an open procedure below threshold, with the tender period ending on 4th March 2022. The contract is set to commence on 21st March 2022 and conclude on 13th June 2022, with a total estimated value of £18,080. This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in applied research and consultancy services, particularly those that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and value-based social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies equipped with expertise in evaluating community needs and developing strategic options for public services would be well-positioned to compete effectively for similar contracts in the future, enhancing their growth potential in the public sector market. ## Notice West Berkshire Council would like to commission an expert, independent, researcher consultant to undertake a review of the needs of all users of community and strategic signposting in West Berkshire. The findings of this review will then be used to provide options for the way forward after the existing contract concludes in May 2023 and inform the scoping for future service specifications. We are looking for a single supplier who can provide applied research expertise. This project will look to specifically evaluate the needs of the users of the West Berkshire Directory and it's functionality but will also take into account the necessary and desired platforms that it interfaces with.
