The procurement falls within the industry categories of market and economic research, as well as management consultancy services, with an allocated budget of £80,000. Potential providers are invited to engage until the engagement end date of 19th July 2022. A pre-tender event is scheduled for 20th July 2022 from 09:30 to 11:00, which will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, providing insight into requirements and feasibility discussions. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in economic research and consultancy, especially those emphasising sustainable development practices. Suitable candidates include SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can collaborate in consortiums to enhance project outcomes. Engaging in this market consultation could position businesses favourably to secure future contracts with the City Council aimed at advancing strategic goals within the community. ## Notice The desired outcome of this soft market testing is to gain insight into the market, gauge the level of interest from potential providers and gather feedback on the feasibility of the Council's proposals ahead of making a procurement to secure a service provider. Cambridge City Council, supported by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, wishes to conduct preliminary market consultations with interested parties in relation to the development of a Cambridge City Portrait. Building on the principles of Doughnut Economics, Six Capitals, UN Sustainable Development Goals, Legatum Prosperity Index, Thriving Places Index and other holistic models, Cambridge City Council wishes to procure professional services to develop an analytical report and a data framework. These products should enable the City Council and partners to track progress against key sustainable economic, social and environmental goals in Cambridge, on a regular basis produce outputs that can be presented in an engaging way that aids public understanding. The Council intends to hold a pre-tender event on Wednesday 20th July, between 09.30 - 11.00 via Microsoft Teams. If you are potentially interested in bidding for this work, please join us at the pre-tender event to hear more about our requirements and to discuss with us the feasibility of what we are seeking. A budget of PS80,000 has been set aside for the project. Consortium bids are encouraged where this can support project outcomes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e7a5758-742e-4772-9a43-3ea04bec844d | | 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 | 30 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Jul 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services ## Release History - 30 Jun 2022 at 15:41 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e7a5758-742e-4772-9a43-3ea04bec844d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0e7a5758-742e-4772-9a43-3ea04bec844d 30th June 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f5750b20-89f8-ec11-8116-005056b64545 Advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
