This procurement falls under the category of Human resources management consultancy services and is expected to span an initial period of three years, with a possibility of a two-year extension. The tender period is set to close on 21 September 2018, with the contract commencing on 8 October 2019 and concluding on 7 October 2022. The expected value of the contract is £12,000, with service delivery taking place in Truro, England. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in HR consultancy. The awarding of this contract will be advantageous for businesses providing legal and technical HR services, particularly those experienced in reviewing employment policies, advising on employee relations, and implementing job profiling processes. Firms that are equipped to offer regular on-site support and can demonstrate a proactive approach in adapting to legislative changes will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice The City Council is a local authority providing a number of services in the Parish of Truro. The City Council has no HR expertise within its employed staff and therefore will rely on its support provider for legal, and technical advice and solutions. The fundamental purpose of the contract is for the contractor to provide an HR service which is described in the specification of the contract. The period of the contract is initially for three years which may be extended for a further two years by the Council. The City Council is expanding its work and it is anticipated that staff numbers will increase during the contract period and potentially include TUPE transfers into the Council. All the Council staff are employed at various locations within the City of Truro. The Council has a single status agreement in place, signed by UNITE and Unison, which was effective from March 2018. The specification is split into three elements. Firstly, initial work where the contractor will review and if necessary recommend changes to our current employment policies and procedures and our current contracts of employment. Secondly, to provide ongoing HR advice particularly relating to employee relations, particularly relating to advising managers and keeping us up to date with legislative changes. Thirdly there is one off advice - for instance we wish to consider implementing a job profiling process to replace our current grading review process. Tenderers should allow as a minimum for a person being present in our offices for one day per week to provide ongoing advice. Tenderers should provide the name of a key contact to both manage the contract and provide the initial point of contact for advice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06846c28-7fe6-438b-8649-9b8ebc872300 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 21 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Oct 2019 - 7 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000 | | 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 | TRURO CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 2NE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Moresk & Trehaverne | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79414000 - Human resources management consultancy services ## Release History - 31 Aug 2018 at 14:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06846c28-7fe6-438b-8649-9b8ebc872300 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/06846c28-7fe6-438b-8649-9b8ebc872300 31st August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/940ddc57-de97-4a03-b954-581f410cab1a DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND TENDER PROCEDURE ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
