This procurement process, initiated on 12th December 2018, is at the planning stage and will close for submissions on 4th January 2019. The contract is expected to start on 14th January 2019 and will run until 31st March 2021. The total contract value is £36,000, and services will primarily be required in the North East region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy and data analysis services. Companies with expertise in delivering dynamic information repositories, secondary research, and client-focused reporting would be ideally positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, offering innovative solutions to meet the needs of the SSC clients. ## Notice The intelligence service within SSC has run from March 2009 and seen over 300 enquiries answered for SSC clients. From this background we have a strong understanding of what works: * Primary data based reports; * Secondary data based reports; * Data which is presented in a coherent and easy to read format; * Well referenced data; * Conversations with clients about their requirements prior to the research bering undertaken; * Collecting feedback from clients to improve service delivery; * Managing client expectations - the reports have limitations and the clients should be aware of this 2. Key Requirement A. The Rapid Intelligence Service Breaking down the required service into elements, those responding to this tender (the 'provider') must be able to offer the following: i. A dynamic repository of information suitable to the sectors in which SSC operates that can be quickly expanded dependent upon client needs. ii. Suitably qualified personnel to receive client information requests refine queries and understand the sectors in which SSC operates - i.e. the framing of the queries. iii. The ability to research and validate suitable information and bring together in a coherent synopsis which answers the clients query. The information will in the main be secondary data, albeit from disparate sources, however some primary information may be required. For primary data the provider must have strong contacts in the sectors in which SSC operates. iv. The capacity and ability to handle at least 21 enquiries per annum under this contract. v. The capacity and ability to complete reports within 10 days of receipt. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4271be68-5dcd-43c3-b7f0-8619097be32f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | 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 | 12 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jan 2019 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,000 | | 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 | NORTH EAST OF ENGLAND BUSINESS AND INNOVATION CENTRE LIMITED | | Locality | SUNDERLAND | | Post town | Sunderland | | Postcode | SR5 2TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC44 Sunderland | | Local authority | Sunderland | | Electoral ward | Southwick | | Westminster constituency | Sunderland Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (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 - 12 Dec 2018 at 15:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4271be68-5dcd-43c3-b7f0-8619097be32f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4271be68-5dcd-43c3-b7f0-8619097be32f 12th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1937d414-f93d-4d02-bea7-053e26c8c0cd Intelligence Service ## Notice URLs - http://www.sunderlandsoftwarecity.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
