## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Support for Better Buckinghamshire service reviews", classified under general management consultancy services. The contract, valued at £350,000, was awarded following a direct procurement method off the CCS MCF2 framework. The contract period started on 1st September 2020 and extends to 28th May 2021. The project, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and customer experience across the newly established unitary authority, was conducted in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity for contracting is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in management consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in zero-based budgeting and organisational reviews. Firms that can provide external capacity and challenge will be ideal candidates, as the council seeks to upskill its internal teams while ensuring a consistent approach to service reviews. Engaging in this contract may bolster the capabilities and visibility of SMEs in the consultancy sector, ultimately fostering growth in their operational footprint.

## Notice

Buckinghamshire Council has recently been established as a new unitary authority, bringing together all the service capabilities and resources from the 5 predecessor councils in the County. Many different teams and ways of working have been combined and the Council are now embarking on an organisation-wide series of service reviews. These will be used to help simplify processes, identify operational efficiency and improve customer experience. In order to confidently deliver these reviews at the speed and quality desired, we need some external capacity, experience and challenge, including financial expertise to develop an approach to zero-based budgeting. This contract will ensure the reviews are delivered in a consistent manner while upskilling our internal Service Improvement and Finance teams with the tools and techniques required to sustain the process. The contract was awarded off the CCS MCF2 framework.
