## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "VCSE Specialist Support Consultancy Services," focusing on providing consultancy support to voluntary, community, and social enterprises. This tender falls under the "Other community, social and personal services" category, set to occur within the United Kingdom's UKE region. The Council intends to gather supplier insights to help determine the scope and feasibility of its upcoming requirements, enabling the crafting of a well-informed tender specification potentially issued later. A milestone for supplier engagement is scheduled for 26 March 2026, highlighting a crucial date for interested parties. This process, initiated on 5 March 2026, marks the Council's active steps in outlining its consultancy service needs aiming for a contract commencing by November 2026.

This procurement process presents rich opportunities for businesses operating in consultancy services, particularly those specialising in aiding voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and VCSE organisations are encouraged to participate, offering them a gateway to deliver specialist support that aligns with North Yorkshire’s objectives. With the potential of a framework agreement, businesses could benefit from longer-term engagements, given the contract period extends until 2034. Firms capable of providing a wide range of flexible and tailored solutions will find themselves well-positioned to compete effectively in this developing tender landscape. Such involvement could amplify business growth and augment collaborative networks within the public sector.
