This procurement falls under the services category, specifically related to business and management consultancy, and is located in the North West of England. The current stage of this process is "Tender", with tenders due by 13th June 2018 at 12 noon. The contract, valued at £96,000, is set to commence on 10th July 2018 and will run until 9th July 2020. This open procedure tender aims to fulfil the GDPR requirements for the secondary and special schools within the jurisdiction of St Helens Council. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in data protection, consultancy, and educational services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the local authority seeks to appoint a Data Protection Officer for its schools. Providers are encouraged to engage with this opportunity, as there may be additional scopes for service expansion beyond the initial requirements outlined, allowing businesses to potentially develop lasting contracts with St Helens Council and its educational establishments. ## Notice As public authorities under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the St Helens, secondary and special schools need to appoint a statutory Data Protection Officer (DPO) to the standards of, and to perform the tasks set out in, articles 37-39 of the GDPR.

While this tender is for secondary and special schools a separate tender will be issued for primary schools.
