This procurement is currently at the Award stage after having been published on 9th July 2020, with the tender period closing on 23rd July 2020. The contract is set to commence on 1st August 2020 and is expected to run until 30th September 2022. The service falls under the legal services category and takes place in Redruth, England, with a total contract value of £17,500. The procurement process follows an open procedure which is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in legal and advisory services, particularly those with expertise in state aid regulations and funding frameworks. Organisations that cater to public sector contracts or have experience with EU funding mechanisms may find this project particularly beneficial. The contract's focus on providing state aid legal advice creates avenues for sustainable business growth, especially for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand in the advisory sector. ## Notice The CLLD programme is jointly funded by ESF and ERDF. As ESF is generally considered flow through aid, we are seeking an organisation that can provide advice on the key issues and risks that may exist from properly interpreting the current state aid regime and its application to ERDF Priority Axis 9 Promoting social inclusion and combating poverty and any discrimination (delivered through Community Led Local Development). (NB: ESF Priority Axis 1.5 also supports Community Led Local Development by supporting inclusive labour markets). Applications can come from a wide variety of organisations types and businesses. When determining the grant funding package, consideration is given to State Aid levels and articles under which the funding is provided. As some of the projects contain a mix of organisation structure and funding requirement, we would like to retain a State Aid legal advice service on a call down contract. As the ESF funding is flow through, the services will be for determining the State Aid position for ERDF funding only. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fba3f4-0f9f-4842-87a4-05f5c8051bc7 | | 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 | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 26 Jul 2020 | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2020 - 30 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £17,500 | | 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 | CORNWALL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LTD | | Locality | REDRUTH | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR15 3QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Pool & Tehidy | | Westminster constituency | Camborne and Redruth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DWF LAW | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79100000 - Legal services - 79200000 - Accounting, auditing and fiscal services ## Release History - 20 Aug 2020 at 12:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fba3f4-0f9f-4842-87a4-05f5c8051bc7 - 17 Jul 2020 at 09:27 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe55f86e-8d7c-4ae2-8a61-44a29a550181 - 9 Jul 2020 at 10:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe55f86e-8d7c-4ae2-8a61-44a29a550181 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fba3f4-0f9f-4842-87a4-05f5c8051bc7 20th August 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fe55f86e-8d7c-4ae2-8a61-44a29a550181 17th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4b6f5dac-a92a-4a67-bb21-99133359e5c6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ec328318-2007-49c5-b2d9-0562f36a4eca ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
