This procurement falls within the consultancy services sector, specifically focusing on research and development services. The project aims to enhance public service delivery in alignment with government objectives, with the contract set to commence in May 2017 and run through to June 2017. The tender period is currently open, concluding on 10 April 2017, and addresses delivery across various locations including British Overseas Territories and the wider UK. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consulting services, particularly those with experience in organisational change and continuous improvement methodologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate capability in training and mentoring public sector personnel. Firms offering expertise in the aforementioned sectors can leverage this opportunity to support Saint Helena's goals of creating a professional and adaptable public service structure. ## Notice SHG is embedding a change programme that will enable the Public Service to improve its delivery of the government's developmental objectives. Achievement of the Goals and Strategic Objectives will require sound management and transformation of the public sector to make it a professional, modern, and flexible organisation able to initiate and respond to change. Central to this programme has been the re-structuring of Government functions and directorates. There are currently five directorates reporting to the Chief Secretary who is the head of the Service; Education, Health, Safeguarding, Environment & Natural Resources and Corporate Services. The Police Service reports to the Governor. The Project SHG wants to supplement the current change programme for the St Helena Government (SHG) which is currently operating under the following broad headings: People & Resources Information & Communication Process & Planning Systems & Technology Continuous improvement is central to the changes required in SHG and this consultancy will require the training and mentoring of a group of "change champions" who will eventually lead on the areas of change. This is expected to be a short term consultancy that may be led completely from overseas or be part led from overseas and include a visit to St Helena. The project will commence in May/June 2017. High Level Objectives This is a long term plan for SHG, but in this first phase of the work the required output from the consultancty is the design, implementation and embedding of a programme of continuous improvement in Saint Helena Government, with a view to delivering on the promise contained in the SHG 10 year plan. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1335822a-c914-42fc-905e-90282a81cfda | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2017 | | Submission deadline | 10 Apr 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2017 - 30 Jun 2017 | | 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 | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SAINT HELENA GOVERNMENT | | Locality | JAMESTOWN | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0QS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 27 Mar 2017 at 13:56 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1335822a-c914-42fc-905e-90282a81cfda - 27 Mar 2017 at 13:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0b27cff-e21a-46e1-8e9b-4452a550595a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1335822a-c914-42fc-905e-90282a81cfda 27th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0b27cff-e21a-46e1-8e9b-4452a550595a 27th March 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6f3f776d-ee19-49d6-bb29-78d8008c7678 Prospectus for Change - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4cf57e85-4dc6-4e52-a3e2-1cb362ec7472 Terms of Reference ## Notice URLs - http://www.sainthelena.gov.sh ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
