This contract, focusing on software programming and consultancy services, was awarded on 14th December 2017, following an open procurement method under an open procedure below the threshold. The total contract value is £40,000, with a minimum value of £25,000. The contract period is set to commence on 5th December 2017 and will run until 31st March 2022. The tender period for submissions closed on 20th November 2017. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in the digital support sector by providing essential benchmarking tools for SMEs in Gloucestershire. Suppliers with expertise in software development and consultancy will find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. Participating in this project could enhance their visibility and reputation within the region, thereby promoting further growth and collaboration with local enterprises. ## Notice The Growth Hub, by providing ambitious Gloucestershire SMEs with fully funded independent and impartial business support, aim to empower these businesses to grow the Gloucestershire economy and to increase the number of jobs in the county. A powerful motivator for business owners to take action is a comprehension of how their performance compares with that of their peers; the Company Performance Benchmark Index will provide that capability. The intended use of the Company Performance Benchmark Index is to allow Gloucestershire Growth Hub website users to assess their company's financial performance relative to that of others in their sector across the county, region and nationally. The ideal scenario is that each Growth Hub website user will perform a benchmark assessment prior to or at the start of their early engagement with the Growth Hub, and then again at the end of their engagement so as to be able to identify the impact of the Growth Hub's independent and impartial business support service. Additionally, as the Growth Hub is required by their funding bodies to ask client businesses for their financial information, this feature would offer businesses something in return for sharing this information with us, as well as offering an improvement to current experience of asking for this information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ae8af86-85a2-428e-b76e-3cc445f40203 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Nov 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Dec 2017 | | Contract period | 3 Jan 2018 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £15,300 | | 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 | GFIRST LEP C.I.C. | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL2 9HW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Gloucester | | Electoral ward | Longlevens | | Westminster constituency | Tewkesbury | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BANKSEARCH INFORMATION CONSULTANCY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2017 at 16:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ae8af86-85a2-428e-b76e-3cc445f40203 - 14 Nov 2017 at 10:48 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5b89291-8477-44fb-9949-eb150d875927 - 7 Nov 2017 at 11:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5b89291-8477-44fb-9949-eb150d875927 - 2 Nov 2017 at 17:44 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5b89291-8477-44fb-9949-eb150d875927 - 20 Oct 2017 at 21:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5b89291-8477-44fb-9949-eb150d875927 - 20 Oct 2017 at 21:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5b89291-8477-44fb-9949-eb150d875927 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ae8af86-85a2-428e-b76e-3cc445f40203 14th December 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5b89291-8477-44fb-9949-eb150d875927 14th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/57d0176b-e757-49fc-a3af-bd4325c11013 Company Performance Benchmark Index ITT document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e6a819c3-3f15-47eb-9c21-8458780f441d Clarifications - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/749a628d-f4c0-4788-8245-065e02dfa0e2 Clarification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4338b0ec-0ccd-4e3e-97d1-9c6d6d9f07a0 Clarification Questions_FINAL_14_11_2107 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gfirstlep.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
