Tender description

Prior Information Notice. This PIN relates to a forthcoming procurement for Commercial Support and contract management services relating to existing and proposed contracts and capital developments. The Council has used specialist interim staff and consultancy firms to carry out a number of commercial and contract management related exercises. This include: renegotiation of the Schools PFI contract; corporate review of the Council's contract management arrangements; and developing a partnership arrangement and financial viability assessment for a new extra care housing scheme. The Council has decided that bringing in specialist external commercial assistance will be a key part of its commercial strategy over the next four years and has decided to tender for a single provider framework to provide commercial and contract management support where necessary. This will be called off on a project by project basis, but an initial call-off will be for on-going management of the schools PFI contract, and support in the upcoming quinquennial PFI bench marking exercise. Estimated cost excluding VAT: 350,0000 GBP Please note that this notice is intended to give prior notice of our intention to tender for this service. Any dates given are intended to be a guide only and as such are subject to change. It is anticipated that the tendering period will be 15 days.
