## Summary

The procurement process involves Walsall Council e-Tendering seeking interim support in the field of computer consultancy services, specifically through the tender titled "WP3575 - One Source Interim Support". This process is currently at the Award stage, with the contract expected to run from 18th November 2019 until 31st January 2020. The total contract value is £600,000, with a minimum requirement of £30,000. The procurement method used is a selective approach under a restricted procedure, and the geographical location for delivery is Walsall, West Midlands, with the tender period having closed on 1st November 2019.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy and support services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide flexible and responsive solutions. Businesses that can demonstrate capability in resource provision and technology implementation would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders similar to this. The engagement with Walsall Council also highlights a potential long-term relationship for businesses that can establish themselves as reliable partners in local government contracts.

## Notice

Ahead of a best value exercise to identify the most advantageous supplier resource solution, we have an urgent need to cover the following roles on interim basis. Contracts will be for a period up to 31 January 2020 or until further arrangements are made that will then continue until the end of the One Source Programme.
