This initiative is crucial if Ministers decide to limit an operator's liabilities in relation to state aid implications. The tender is categorized under business and management consultancy services and was published on 17 December 2019. Interested parties were required to submit their bids by 10 January 2020, with the associated contract period starting from 17 January 2020 and running until 31 December 2020. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in consultancy services, particularly in the fields of insurance consultancy and related services. The successful bidder will play a vital role in drafting a state aid notification that meets the expectations of the relevant commission, thereby enhancing their reputation and experience in a growing sector. Businesses with expertise in regulatory compliance, risk management, and consultancy services should find this opportunity particularly advantageous for growth. ## Notice The objective of this tender is to develop a full state aid notification to a point at which the notification is ready for submission. This is so that if a decision is taken by Ministers to limit an operator's liabilities and the proposed approach has state aid implications, that a swift notification can be made if necessary. The quality of the submission should maximise the chances of state aid approval, given the information and evidence available. The submission should contain the appropriate level of detail that the Commission might reasonably expect in making an assessment so that a decision can be made as quickly as possible on the case. This tender will also secure essential support in answering any questions about the notification raised by the Commission. Such responses would be required at short notice and involvement in the initial notification would ensure that swift responses could be supported. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68246a6b-d8c4-4ff9-8271-6d3c29e83021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Jul 2020 | | Contract period | 29 Jul 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £125,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £109,800 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MACFARLANES | ## 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 - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 13 Nov 2020 at 10:20 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68246a6b-d8c4-4ff9-8271-6d3c29e83021 - 19 Dec 2019 at 17:03 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67248e1f-3f8c-48d0-b4c4-367e53d55808 - 17 Dec 2019 at 18:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67248e1f-3f8c-48d0-b4c4-367e53d55808 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68246a6b-d8c4-4ff9-8271-6d3c29e83021 13th November 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67248e1f-3f8c-48d0-b4c4-367e53d55808 19th December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/44ef1da5-2f99-4056-a941-a2df776a594a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86a84c4c-0ee6-494d-8351-c1ee4851a5b0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/73dd088b-c09f-4065-8212-4eeed00c811d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/60649880-4540-451b-a0a1-cfc96272d58d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/05b5382a-6ddb-4687-a68e-cb0d2e777f19 - https://uksbs.delta-esourcing.com/respond/B5XQ643S52 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6787eb2a-77a4-4a68-8878-6e432b5d0b74 CS19399 Delta - ITQ Invitation to Quote - UK spaceflight liabilities state aid notification support ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
