The tender document is currently in preparation, and it is intended to be published on the LGSS e-tendering portal by March 9, 2018. The estimated value of the contract is £60,000, with a minimum bid value set at £50,000. The tender period will close on March 23, 2018, while the contract is expected to commence from April 9, 2018, and run until April 12, 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their operations in the public sector, particularly within the marketing and advertising fields. Businesses with expertise in community engagement, recruitment campaigns, and social marketing strategies would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the goal is to foster local understanding and participation in fostering initiatives, ultimately benefiting local children and families. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) is intending to publish a tender opportunity for Transforming Fostering Campaign. CCC aims to deliver a campaign run across Cambridgeshire which will focus on helping place more local children in homes close to their schools and other services and providing those children with a happier, brighter future. It will be built on clear and careful research into the current fostering population in order to encourage more likeminded people to consider fostering, building on a better understanding of what might encourage those who aren't currently well represented in the fostering community to consider this option, or encouraging those who care via independent agencies to consider becoming in-house carers. We are currently working on the tender documents and these will be published on the LGSS e-tendering portal ProContract - https://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk/. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da404c3a-dd1b-4122-add7-1f4a6de33f8a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | 9 Mar 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Apr 2018 - 12 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 3HS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services ## Release History - 12 Mar 2018 at 13:00 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da404c3a-dd1b-4122-add7-1f4a6de33f8a - 12 Mar 2018 at 11:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3688fc87-69ff-4af2-aeb6-70c81de43af6 - 8 Mar 2018 at 10:14 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4be414c-636c-45f4-b8a2-8f5530964411 - 8 Mar 2018 at 10:12 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4be414c-636c-45f4-b8a2-8f5530964411 - 8 Mar 2018 at 07:10 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4be414c-636c-45f4-b8a2-8f5530964411 - 8 Mar 2018 at 06:54 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4be414c-636c-45f4-b8a2-8f5530964411 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da404c3a-dd1b-4122-add7-1f4a6de33f8a 12th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3688fc87-69ff-4af2-aeb6-70c81de43af6 12th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f4be414c-636c-45f4-b8a2-8f5530964411 8th March 2018 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=8577bcc7-9b22-e811-80eb-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.lgss.co.uk/about/ - https://www.lgssprocurementportal.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
