Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest by 17:00 on 8th September 2017 and complete their tenders by 12:00 noon on 11th September 2017. The contract is valued between £50,000 and £100,000, with a contract period starting on 2nd October 2017 and concluding on 31st January 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in consultancy services related to development and business growth. Companies that specialise in feasibility studies, research consultancy, and business management are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, which may lead to further consultancy engagements depending on the success of initial phases.

The commission will be broken down into three for phases. The success of each Phase will contribute to the Council's decision process to undertake subsequent Phases with the Consultant. The Council does not guarantee that subsequent phases will be funded but, subject to satisfactory performance and/or the agreement of both parties, intends to retain the option to use the same Consultant without a further procurement process. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. Expressions of interest close at 17:00 on Friday 8th September 2017.
