This procurement falls under the industry category of general management consultancy services, with a contract value of £35,000. The tender period is currently active and will close on 22 December 2020. The subsequent contract is anticipated to commence on 4 January 2021 and conclude by 30 April 2021. The procurement method applied is an open procedure. This project presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in management consultancy and social enterprise development. By focusing on the transfer of community assets to sustainable social enterprises, businesses that align with community well-being and resource management will be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract. Engaging in this process could expand a business's portfolio while fostering social and economic development in Craven's communities. ## Notice Craven District Council hold a range of assets that are currently managed for the long term benefit of all of Craven's communities and they provide resources to support activities such as cultural services, sports development, economic and community development and community grants. These assets generate a turnover of PS4.23m from rents, fees or the services delivered within them. They include the theatre, crematorium, car parks, shops, shared housing and business units. The range of assets also include those that do not generate a surplus but are important to our residents such as Aireville Park, Skipton Town Hall and Craven Leisure and these require constant investment and support. All of the local authorities in North Yorkshire are currently part of a review of the structure of local government and it is likely that Craven District Council will be merged into a wider authority. Therefore, in order to safeguard community assets and services for the long term benefit of all of Craven's communities we aim to explore the possibility to transfer the assets of Craven DC into one or more new or existing social enterprises that support the cultural and economic well-being of our communities. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af14732f-5b5d-4bfd-b84f-3e9023230b7d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 22 Dec 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2021 - 30 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | 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 | CRAVEN DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | SKIPTON | | Post town | Bradford | | Postcode | BD23 1FJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Skipton West & West Craven | | Westminster constituency | Skipton and Ripon | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79411000 - General management consultancy services ## Release History - 8 Dec 2020 at 14:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af14732f-5b5d-4bfd-b84f-3e9023230b7d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/af14732f-5b5d-4bfd-b84f-3e9023230b7d 8th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=829031d7-6139-eb11-8106-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cravendc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
