## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department For Culture Media & Sport, which is acquiring support services related to the public service mutual model for library authorities across England. This contract, titled "Peer Support for Library Authorities Considering and Implementing the Public Service Mutual Model," is categorised under cultural services (CPV 92500000) and has a total value of £37,450.

The tender period ended on 9 January 2017, with the award date set for 18 January 2017. Services are to be delivered to various locations within Yorkshire and the Humber.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in cultural service support and public service mutuals. Companies skilled in providing training, toolkits, and peer support for public sector transformation will find a suitable environment to compete in this procurement. By partnering with library authorities, these businesses can expand their profiles and contribute to the growth of public service mutuals in the region.

## Notice

The Government's strategy to support the growth of the public service mutuals sector in England intends to ensure that those public bodies interested in considering spinning services out into public service mutuals, and, where appropriate, implementing this model, are adequately supported to do so. This contract is part of a suite of support for library authorities interested in the mutual model, and includes delivery of masterclasses, toolkits and peer support, provided by organisations with first-hand experience of the process of becoming a mutual.
