This open tender, initiated on 17th May 2022, is aimed at delivering consultancy services in business analysis, with a deadline for submissions set for 16th June 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 1st August 2022 and last until 31st March 2023, with a potential extension based on further funding availability. The services will be provided in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand into consultancy roles, particularly those with expertise in business development and retail support. Suitable candidates would include business advisors and consultants with a strong background in economic recovery strategies and community engagement, enabling them to effectively assist local businesses during this pivotal recovery phase. ## Notice We are looking to appoint a small team of consultants / business advisors to support the recovery of the Sheffield's District Centres on behalf of Sheffield City Council for the Economic Recovery Fund (ERF) Programme. An existing team of Information Officers has been operating in the District Centres since 28th September 2020, funded by the "Welcome Back" Project. This project has now closed, and we have secured additional funding through ERF to continue the Information Officer activity. The support provided by this team is considered to have been very effective in local areas allowing businesses to have access to a friendly face with business advisor experience and retail and hospitality expertise alongside place making experience. Given the timeframe and the scale of the activity the Council is required to undertake a new procurement exercise to appoint the team. We are looking to appoint up to 6 consultants working 3 days per week delivering 1-2-1 advice and support to businesses in Sheffield's District Centres. The consultants will be expected to be provide support for 12 days per month from 1st August 2022 up to the 31st of March 2023 with the possibility of a 12 month extension should further funding be identified. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2ec908b-9bfa-4dfd-978c-d0f9c00d564a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services ## Release History - 17 May 2022 at 17:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2ec908b-9bfa-4dfd-978c-d0f9c00d564a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2ec908b-9bfa-4dfd-978c-d0f9c00d564a 17th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=47240&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104130 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
