The contract involves providing socioeconomic services to support economic renewal capital projects over a 24-month period, with a possible 12-month extension. The tender's value is £180,000 GBP, and the tender period ends on March 29, 2022. The contract period starts on May 23, 2022, and ends on May 24, 2024. The buying organization is seeking a consultant to review opportunities and risks, consult with local stakeholders, provide economic appraisal, specialist advice on monitoring and evaluation, and reporting. This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses, especially in economic research and consultancy services, to engage with Essex County Council in delivering socioeconomic projects. Business entities offering robust socioeconomic research capabilities and economic appraisal services are well-suited to compete for this tender. The Council promotes engagement with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and does not guarantee full utilization of the budget over the contract period, offering flexibility for winning bidders. ## Notice ECC is launching a PS100m Economic Renewal Investment Fund aiming to work with a variety of public and private partners to deliver a range of priorities for our residents and businesses. As such, the County needs to be assured that its resources are focused on the right areas and actions across the county to achieve the best outcomes for residents and businesses and provide the best value for money for taxpayers.

ECC's Economic Infrastructure team is therefore seeking a single consultant to provide socioeconomic services to support economic renewal capital projects over a 24-month contract, with the option to extend for a further 12 months. Bidders should ensure that they are able to meet all of the following typical requirements for projects that fall within this requirement. - Reviewing opportunities and risks - Consultation with local stakeholders - Case study analysis and literature reviews - Economic appraisal - Specialist advice on monitoring and evaluation - Reporting It is not known when projects for socioeconomic services will arise during the contract and there is no guarantee that any or all of the budget will be utilised over the contract period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/17171739-7449-4cf1-bc4a-a2ce6310a022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Jun 2022 | | Contract period | 7 Aug 2022 - 7 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £180,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHELMSFORD | | Post town | Chelmsford | | Postcode | CM1 1QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH36 Heart of Essex | | Local authority | Chelmsford | | Electoral ward | Moulsham and Central | | Westminster constituency | Chelmsford | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ATKINS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 28 Sep 2022 at 19:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/17171739-7449-4cf1-bc4a-a2ce6310a022 - 12 Aug 2022 at 12:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6702219-292e-4e5f-8ace-b1c1947346c3 - 23 Feb 2022 at 18:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0798d8ca-6975-4578-8878-362f0bc12596 - 23 Feb 2022 at 17:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/00e14934-0bfe-44ea-ba1c-0cd98902d697 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/17171739-7449-4cf1-bc4a-a2ce6310a022 28th September 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b6702219-292e-4e5f-8ace-b1c1947346c3 12th August 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0798d8ca-6975-4578-8878-362f0bc12596 23rd February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/00e14934-0bfe-44ea-ba1c-0cd98902d697 23rd February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register Please submit your tender response through ProContract ## Notice URLs - https://www.essex.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
