## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is currently managing the procurement process for the "UK SBS CS19236 - Future Cities Domestic Missions" project. This contract falls under the category of Secondary Education Services and is situated in various locations across the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The procurement is in the award stage, having culminated in a successful awarding of the contract on 6th September 2019, with the overall value estimated at £110,000. The contract is set to start on 11th September 2019 and conclude on 31st March 2020. Interested parties were required to submit their bids via the CCS eSourcing Portal by the deadline of 23rd August 2019.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs that specialise in urban services, innovative technology solutions, and strategic partnerships with public authorities. The Domestic Missions programme aims to foster collaborations and strategic procurement that cater specifically to the challenges faced by local authorities. As such, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in advanced urban services, public sector engagement, and the application of emerging technologies would be well-positioned to leverage this opportunity, especially in developing tailored solutions for complex urban challenges.

## Notice

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 23rd August 2019 11:00am. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. The overall aim of the Domestic Missions programme is to catalyse and grow a market for Advanced Urban Services built around city collaborations, creative strategic procurement and increased understanding between public authorities and innovative SME businesses. This contract will be for a six month pilot programme to act as a Delivery Partner to Innovate UK activities. If the pilot programme proves to be a success and demonstrates impact there is the possibility that a further, more comprehensive, programme of Domestic Missions will be organised. The intention is to run five one day pilot Domestic Missions (2 in England, 1 in Scotland, 1 in Wales, 1 in N Ireland). Each Mission programme should be developed specifically to meet the needs of the selected area. Plans should be drawn up in collaboration with local public authorities, responding to specifically identified local priority challenges, particularly where funding could be identified to address these challenges. The Domestic Missions are not simply business pitching events. They are curated opportunities for businesses to understand authority challenges, constraints and processes better, and for authorities to understand the potential of emerging technologies. The programme should build understanding and relationships both between and amongst, innovators and government agencies, with the intention to see Advanced Urban Services deployed broadly to address complex urban challenges.
