## Summary

The London Councils are currently conducting a tender process for the "C1017B: Invitation to Tender for Research and Consultancy Services - London Regional Adoption - Project Management." This contract, valued at £25,000, aims to appoint a project manager to coordinate essential workstreams for the Final Business Case, with a contract period running from 13th November 2017 to 28th February 2018. The procurement method adopted is a direct single tender action, due to the below-threshold value. The tender period closed on 10th November 2017 and the project's implementation will primarily take place in London, United Kingdom, thereby catering to businesses in the London region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand within the public services sector. Businesses with expertise in project management, consultancy services, and familiarity with developing hub service models will find this contract particularly relevant. The project involves close collaboration with various stakeholders across London, making it ideal for local service providers who can meet the specified engagement requirements effectively.

## Notice

London Councils are seeking a project manager to coordinate the workstreams necessary to produce the Final Business Case, to support the development of the detailed hub service model and work with emerging spoke hosts to ensure the required join up between hub and spoke arrangements. The work will initially be confirmed until the end of February 2018, with the possibility of extension in the case if hosting arrangements require this. Additional information: QUESTIONS 7/11/17 Question 1: May the project manager work remotely? This would involve staying available between agreed times during the working week, and having occasional face-to-face meetings in London. Question 2: What is the word limit for the proposal? ANSWERS 1: the worker will be required to attend meetings across London and to meet regularly with the Lead Director and contract holder, and will therefore need to be able to commit to meet face to face frequently. ANSWE 2: there is no word limit, but a focus on how the worker will clearly meet the objectives and criteria is essential.
