This will allow us to: o Identify and retain the many strengths we have developed as a council through 'The Deal' over the past decade. o Respond effectively to the challenges we are now facing. o Identify our priorities for the future and be equipped with the skills and tools to effectively address these. o To put us in the right place to build a refreshed movement with purpose and intent Our partner(s) will: * Identify an approach to embed themselves with us and establish a process to carry out a fundamental review of what works and what's missing; * Lead, with our support and learning, on a deep engagement approach in our communities - both to create a product to inform our refreshed approach, and embed a legacy for ongoing listening and shared learning and response. * Help us, alongside our communities, partners and workforce to establish a refreshed commitment as relevant to today as the Deal was in 2012; * Leave us with new skills and tools to embed practical approaches that fully realise our refreshed approach; creating the momentum, excitement and belief for widespread adaption and adoption. Wigan Council invites creative and experienced organisations with a track record in facilitating change, innovation, research and participation to work in partnership with us. This will be to provide expertise and act as critical friend as we refresh our strategic intent. Due to the wide scope of the commission we are likely to work with a number of organisations with varying areas of expertise to support on the process. We also welcome joint bids from partnerships of organisations. The maximum budget allocated for this project (excluding VAT) is PS30,000 per partner. We will commission up to a maximum of three organisations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e81d182e-9cc5-4ff9-9132-49c51e752e52 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Apr 2023 | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2023 - 31 Oct 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £28,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £28,000 | | 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 | WIGAN COUNCIL | | Locality | WIGAN | | Post town | Wigan | | Postcode | WN1 1NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD36 Greater Manchester North West | | Local authority | Wigan | | Electoral ward | Wigan Central | | Westminster constituency | Wigan | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | COLLABORATE; IPPR NORTH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 24 May 2023 at 13:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e81d182e-9cc5-4ff9-9132-49c51e752e52 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e81d182e-9cc5-4ff9-9132-49c51e752e52 24th May 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wigan.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
