This open procurement process falls under the services category and is aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the East of England. The deadline for submissions is 5 pm on Wednesday, 31st March 2021. Interested parties can expect a fixed fee of £100 per hour for the mentoring services, although there is no guarantee of contract placement even if selected. The tender period is open and follows an open procedure below the threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses that specialise in mentoring, coaching, and training services. Companies with expertise in supporting SMEs, particularly those that are small or voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), would be well-suited to compete for a place on the preferred provider list. Engaging with Norfolk County Council can potentially lead to individual contracts as required, making it a valuable prospect for those looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. ## Notice Norfolk County Council wishes to procure mentors to deliver mentoring services to SMEs. Our exact requirements are detailed in the attached documents. At this stage we are inviting Providers to apply to be included on a list of pre-approved providers. Price will not be evaluated as part of this process, as we will pay a fixed fee of PS100 per hour for all work on this project. We will offer contracts with individual providers as required. There is no guarantee of any work or contracts being placed with you even if you are selected to join the preferred list. The list is open for applications until 5 pm on Wednesday, 31st March 2021, however, please note that this process is open to new applicants. Due to the constraints of Contract Finder, the contract start date and end date are not correct. Please submit your applications at any time. If you are awarded a contract, the start and end date will be clear. Additional information: This is the 2nd advert for this opportunity as we wish the process to remain open for new applicants. Please note we have extended the date for applications ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bf5e380-e75e-4183-962e-a996270fc240 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 31 May 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2021 - 1 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100 | | 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 | NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR1 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Lakenham | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79996000 - Business organisation services - 79998000 - Coaching services - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 5 Mar 2021 at 09:34 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bf5e380-e75e-4183-962e-a996270fc240 - 6 Nov 2020 at 09:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bf5e380-e75e-4183-962e-a996270fc240 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bf5e380-e75e-4183-962e-a996270fc240 5th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b4069b3f-207a-4ef1-8e2b-2bbce586e209 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e569582a-f5a8-4cce-82b4-bdc99257bf21 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
