## Summary

The tender for "ASC Commissioning Capacity Consultancy Support" has been executed by The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, aimed at enhancing service outcomes in the local health and care sectors in response to COVID-19 challenges. The consultancy project is classified under procurement consultancy services (CPV code: 79418000) with a total contract value of £200,000. The award was made under an open procurement method, and the contract is effective from April 1, 2021, to October 31, 2021. The tender process was concluded with the contract being awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on March 21, 2021, with the contract notice published on January 11, 2022.

This tender presents opportunities for consultancy firms with expertise in service transformation, particularly within health and social care settings impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses that specialise in delivering strategic consultancy and operational capacity support for local authorities and health institutions would find themselves well-positioned to engage in similar future procurements. The ongoing transformation process indicates a continuing need for consultancy services that can adapt to emerging challenges and deliver value in the care market.

## Notice

The Council has embarked on an ambitious programme of transformation to improve outcomes and deliver savings within the context of an ongoing COVID 19 response. Significant commissioning activity has also taken place in 20/21, and this continues in 21/22 to reshape a range of services and relationships with the care market, health partners and the local community. Additional capacity is required to ensure the transformation remains on track and that a rapid response can support the COVID legacy issues. This includes ensuring that the s75 and the procurements that are now underway with our health partners can be flexed in order to address the significant COVID 19 legacy issues that are now emerging.
