## Summary

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council recently completed a procurement process titled "Review of Constitution," classified under the services industry category and focussed on legal services. The initiative is a part of the Council's Improvement Plan that requires the Constitution to be rewritten, ensuring clarity and transparency. The procurement, executed via a limited method due to being below the threshold with limited competition, began on 15th May 2025 and will conclude on 14th May 2026, with a potential extension available until 14th November 2026. The Council, based in Dudley, UK, engaged WILKIN CHAPMAN LLP from Grimsby as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 15th May 2025 for a gross amount of £66,024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal service providers, especially those capable of managing comprehensive reviews and updates of official documents like a Constitution. Businesses in the legal services sector that have experience with public authority engagement would be well-suited to tender for similar projects. The expansive reach of the services across multiple UK regions, including the North East, North West, and the Midlands, amongst others, further broadens the scope for businesses seeking growth through public sector contracts.

## Notice

In accordance with the Improvement Plan of the Council, there is a requirement that the Constitution needs to be rewritten. The Constitution has been updated as and when required; in any event has been reviewed and signed off by Full Council every year. However, the Constitution needs to be clear and transparent for all to use and understand. The Council is in the process of a review of its functions and a senior management review is taking place. Therefore, the Scheme of Delegations in the Constitution needs to reflect the work taking place.
