Description

Huntingdonshire District Council is seeking an innovative Provider(s) to deliver independent information and advice services across all Huntingdonshire communities, and to provide a representative voice back into the Council. This representation will ensure the 'voice' of the sector is heard and will mean independent information and advice services can continue to be a critical friend of the Council.
The approach required will help to maximise resources, facilitate efficiencies through taking advantage of economies of scale, help to reduce duplication, and provide a complementary and collaborative offer through a network of organisations. The Council is offering a three-year agreement and is keen to see fresh thinking about how best to strengthen, support, challenge and inspire innovation in the provision of independent information and advice.
The Council uses an electronic tendering tool to manage this procurement and communicate with potential suppliers. No hard copy documents will be issued and all communications including submission of your tender will be via the Portal (Due North). You can register with the portal (free) at: https://procontract.due-north.com/SupplierRegistration/Requirements
