North Lanarkshire Council – Enterprise Project

Tender description

North Lanarkshire Council (the Council) has an ambitious vision to re-invent North Lanarkshire as the place to Live, Learn, Work, Invest and Visit. The Council aims to implement its vision that enables inclusive economic growth and prosperity through an ambitious programme of regeneration and infrastructure investment. In March 2020 the Council approved a business case to procure a single commercial partner that will deliver the full spectrum of Enterprise and Community Services. Following extensive market engagement, a procurement was launched April 2021, which subsequently attracted insufficient market interest to proceed and was discontinued. The Council wishes to re-engage with the market to provide an update on the current status of the Enterprise Project (the Project), to present a proposed revised delivery model and phasing plans, to provide an overview of the future procurement opportunities relating to the Project, and to provide information on Phase 1 procurements and to invite feedback. Subject to testing with the market the proposed delivery and procurement models, the first Phase 1 procurements, currently anticipated to commence in Spring 2022, are: 1. Place Shaping Services; 2. Housing & Corporate Core Services & Projects; and 3. Roads & Winter Core Services & Projects. Interested parties are invited to attend an online pre-procurement Project engagement event (via Microsoft Teams) hosted by the Council. The event will be held on 08 October 2021 at 1000 via Microsoft Teams. To take part in the online event, interested parties can register to attend by accessing the following Eventbrite link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/enterprise-project-market-engagement-event-tickets-169455749709.
