This tender falls under the services industry category and is currently in the open procurement stage, with the tender period closing on 11 October 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 8 November 2021 and conclude on 10 January 2022. Interested parties should note that the project's objectives include creating an efficient strategic depot solution to meet the Council's operational needs for the next 25 years while minimising environmental impact and bureaucratic hurdles during the relocation process. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly consultancy firms specialising in business management and operational efficiency. Companies adept in helping organisations redesign service delivery models, optimise logistics, and reduce costs will find this a fitting opportunity to grow their business in the public sector. With an emphasis on achieving results within a short timeframe of 6 to 8 weeks, this contract may also be suited for firms that can deliver comprehensive reviews and implement strategies swiftly. Potential bidders should align their proposals with the Council’s objective of integrating sustainability and efficiency in public service delivery. ## Notice Cambridge City Council (CCC) must relocate its depot facility from its current site at Cowley Road and is seeking to provide a comprehensive depot solution at a new location. The new depot must be able to support strategic and operational service objectives, both now and over the next 25 years. The Council currently provides direct service operations from three physical locations: Waterbeach Depot (shared refuse collection service hosted by South Cambs DC), Cowley Road Depot (Street & Open Spaces, elements of Environmental Services and secondary Estates & Facilities usage, 'SoS') and 130 Cowley Road Offices (Estates & Facilities and Stores, 'E&F'). The optimum depot solution is to have a single, strategically placed operating location for SoS and E&F, other satellite locations should not be needed. To take full advantage of the catalyst for change that move provides the Council wishes to fundamentally review a number of the key processes rationalising the delivery models with an eye to drive out cost, increase efficiency, reduce carbon impact. This review will minimise land requirements at the new depot location and the intrinsic cost burden that land acquisition brings when relocating in Cambridge. The two key areas that require immediate review are: - the provision of the current stores' facility run by E&F SoS waste transfer process. There has been some initial work completed on both processes/models, these indicate that new models will deliver the required efficiencies, the Council now needs a comprehensive review to support the current thinking. These two workstreams need to be delivered at pace and provide the deliverables within 6-8 weeks from commencement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70f56e97-269e-4c04-b772-7d7ca2c3e184 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 11 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Nov 2021 - 10 Jan 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 20 Sep 2021 at 15:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70f56e97-269e-4c04-b772-7d7ca2c3e184 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/70f56e97-269e-4c04-b772-7d7ca2c3e184 20th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://procontract.due-north.com E-tendering portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
