## Summary

The Derbyshire County Council is procuring consultancy services for the development of a Mayoral Combined Authority with Derby City, Derbyshire County, Nottingham City, and Nottinghamshire County Councils. This opportunity arises from a joint bid submitted to the Government on 25 March 2022, aiming to secure devolution powers and funding to enhance regional outcomes. The contract, valued at £600,000 GBP, has been awarded to Deloitte LLP, with a contract period that spans from 20th June 2022 to 20th June 2024. The procurement method detailed as not specified, with the tender period ending on 6th June 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in government relations, policy development, and public sector strategy. Companies with experience in managing complex stakeholder relationships and navigating government processes would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The tight timescales for proposal development post-confirmation of pathfinder areas require swift and comprehensive consultancy support to align with the Government's Autumn 2022 timetable.

## Notice

Derby City, Derbyshire County, Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County Councils, "D2N2 Councils" are in discussions with Government to form a 'Level 3' Mayoral Combined Authority. This follows the publication of the Government's Levelling Up White Paper in February 2022 which sets out proposals to broaden and deepen devolution across the country. The four D2N2 authorities submitted a joint bid to Government on 25 March 2022 following the announcement that Derbyshire and Derby and Nottinghamshire and Nottingham were being considered as pathfinder county areas. The joint bid to Government builds on earlier D2 and N2 County Deal expressions of interest and proposals. The Government has indicated that it will be taking forward a number of devolution deals as part of a first phase of pathfinder areas by Autumn 2022. The opportunity to be included in the first phase of areas to secure a devolution deal presents a significant opportunity to secure powers and funding for the delivery of enhanced outcomes for the people of Derbyshire and Derby, Nottinghamshire and Nottingham. A previous attempt at securing a devolution deal (in 2016) was unsuccessful. Over time this has led to significant underinvestment with the area and wider East Midlands region falling behind its neighbours in Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and the West Midlands. The Deal is likely to be the first stage on a journey in securing much needed additional powers, flexibilities and funding. Areas that have secured devolution deals in the past have received funding packages of between PS450m and PS1.1bn over a thirty-year period. D2N2 Councils are now seeking consultancy services to maximise the opportunities presented. Once areas have formally been confirmed, timescales for taking forward proposals are likely to be extremely tight. Additional support and capacity, to be in place from 1 June 2022, is therefore required to ensure D2/N2 Councils can meet the Government's indicative Autumn 2022 timetable Derbyshire County Council will act as the contracting authority, on behalf of all four D2N2 local authorities and has chosen to utilise the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6187: Management Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3) and commission services under Lot 2 using a Further Competition Procedure.
