This tender falls under the industry category of research consultancy services and is set in the North West of England. The procurement process, classified as an open procedure, aims to enhance the region's competitiveness in attracting business events. Bids for this opportunity will be accepted until 7th August 2019, with the contract period running from 2nd September 2019 to 31st May 2020. Interested parties are advised to consult the Project Tender Specification and Award Criteria prior to bid submission. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in business tourism and event management strategies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate given the project's focus on sustainable and well-governed commercial modelling. Firms that can demonstrate a capacity to deliver valuable insights and collaborate effectively with public sector stakeholders will be well-positioned to compete in this procurement process. ## Notice Based on the key issues identified in the tender documentation, external expertise is required to develop new business tourism strategy for the Liverpool City Region. The intention is to increase the competitiveness of the region in bidding for lucrative conference/business events activity as well as improving the alignment between the region's destinations, venues and the convention bureaus in converting leads/enquiries. In creating the level of subvention that will enable the City Region to enter these markets, detailed commercial modelling and engagement with the private sector will be a prerequisite to ensure the end solution is sustainable, well governed and the necessary business rules are in place. The intention is to complete the initial core modelling over a 6 - 9 month period commencing August/September 2019. This will allow the project to concentrate on providing the level of transitionary subvention funding needed to generate conference business up to 2021/22, while the new subvention model will underpin conference bidding from 2022/23. Similarly, it will also guide the strengthened resource within the convention bureaus to increase their own commissionable income based on the additional conference business they will place. To ensure the subvention model is fit for purpose, external expertise is sought and will be retained during the full three years of the project to develop, challenge and refine the model. Additional information: Please ensure you read the Project Tender Specification and Award Criteria before submitting your bid. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/72dae57f-32fd-451d-b240-0f3b42ca2183 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 7 Aug 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2019 - 31 May 2020 | | 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 | LIVERPOOL CITY REGION L E P | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 1BP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Waterfront South | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 73220000 - Development consultancy services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2019 at 09:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/72dae57f-32fd-451d-b240-0f3b42ca2183 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/72dae57f-32fd-451d-b240-0f3b42ca2183 24th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/be042644-4e5d-4086-ac06-93051302996b Project Tender Specification and Award Criteria - https://www.liverpoollep.org/tenders/ Project Tender Specification and Award Criteria ## Notice URLs - https://www.liverpoollep.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
