## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is seeking tender submissions for the "Provision of Secretariat Services supporting Aggregate Working Parties," aimed at facilitating the operations of nine local authority area clusters across England. This procurement has reached the Award stage, having published the contract details on 1st May 2019, following a completion period that started on 1st April 2019 and will run until 31st March 2020. The total value of the contract is £165,127, with a procurement method classified as a single tender action below threshold. 

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in service administration, particularly those capable of delivering secretariat functions across various local authority areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find potential in this contract, especially those with experience in supporting public sector operations and collaboration across multiple regions. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in managing stakeholder engagement and delivering administrative support will be well-positioned to compete successfully.

## Notice

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (the Authority) has had contracts in place for the provision of Secretariat Services supporting Aggregate Working Parties since 2015. There are 9 Aggregate Working Parties, 1 for each of the 9 local authority area clusters across England. The role of the secretariat function is to enable these Working Parties to fulfil their functions in monitoring the operation of the Managed Aggregate Supply System (MASS). The contracts covering the 9 area clusters were due to expire on 31 March 2019. However, the Authority has extended these contracts for a further 12 months, until 31 March 2020. The extensions will secure the continued provision of the services provided by the Aggregate Working Parties' secretariats while the Government considers its future role in supporting the sector. Securing the continued provision of the services provided by the Aggregate Working Parties' secretariats for 2019-20 will enable mineral planning authorities to continue to positively plan for aggregates.
