This effort targets the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry, and is set to take place in the East of England. The event is scheduled for 14 June 2019, with a deadline for organisations to express their interest by 10 June 2019. This framework aims to support significant infrastructure investments estimated at approximately £13 million per annum, as approved by the Economy and Environment Committee on 10 January 2019. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses seeking to participate in the growing infrastructure projects in Cambridgeshire. Organisations particularly suited for this tender include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with relevant experience in delivering similar professional services. Engaging in the market event will allow these businesses to provide feedback on service delivery models, ultimately influencing the contract's final structure and enhancing their chances of securing future contracts. ## Notice Significant investment is being made in the infrastructure of Cambridgeshire by the Greater Cambridgeshire Partnership (GCP), the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CA) and Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) in order to reduce pressure on the region's transport networks and ensure continued economic success. The successful delivery of this investment will require a high quantity of high-quality professional services across a wide range of disciplines. The value of the professional services has been estimated at approximately PS13M per annum. A decision paper recommending the commencement of the procurement of a professional services contract (s) / framework for the use of the three authorities was approved by CCC's Economy and Environment Committee on 10 January 2019. A Model Options Appraisal is currently being been carried out and the authorities wish to consult with organisations with relevant experience of the delivery of similar services. The purpose of the consultation is to seek the views of market participants on potential service delivery models. The consultation will assist the authorities to finalise the model and the conduct of the planned procurement. The authorities will host a market engagement event near Cambridge on the morning of Friday 14th June 2019. At the event, representatives of the authorities will present their plans and priorities and invite questions and feedback from attendees. Organisations that wish to attend the event are requested to confirm their interest in attending to JPS@cambridgeshire.gov.uk by Monday 10th June 2019. Organisations that confirm their interest will be provided with an Information Pack and short questionnaire prior to the event. Organisations will be requested to submit the completed questionnaires shortly after the market engagement event to assist the organisations to finalise the service delivery and procurement model. The authorities intend to proceed to procurement in accordance with the following indicative timescales. * Market engagement event: 14 June 2019 * Finalise contract model and tender documents: Summer 2019 * Commence procurement: Autumn 2019 * Contract Award: Spring 2020 However, the authorities make no guarantees that this PIN and market engagement will be followed with a Contract Notice or Tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b94c39e5-8779-4ebc-ad1a-4651773dddf0 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Jun 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LGSS | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0AP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 20 May 2019 at 13:32 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b94c39e5-8779-4ebc-ad1a-4651773dddf0 - 17 May 2019 at 11:52 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b94c39e5-8779-4ebc-ad1a-4651773dddf0 - 17 May 2019 at 08:41 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b94c39e5-8779-4ebc-ad1a-4651773dddf0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b94c39e5-8779-4ebc-ad1a-4651773dddf0 20th May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
