Description

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) (The "Authority") wishes to invite Tenders for the supply of services in respect of supporting the implementation of CCC's commercial investment strategy as set out in the Specification. The successful Potential Provider will be responsible for providing this service and liaising closely with the Contract Manager identified by the Authority. At Cambridgeshire County Council a Commercial Investment Strategy (CIS) has been developed to set out the County Council's strategic approach to commercial acquisitions. The main purpose of this document is to enable agile decisions to be taken in developing a portfolio whilst also mitigating some of the potential risks associated with this level of investment The objective of the investment portfolio is to acquire investments that make a secure and increasing contribution to the Council's revenue streams in order to support the delivery of frontline services to our communities. This will be done through;
• Acquiring investments that provide long term returns to support the delivery of the Council's desired outcomes;
• Creating a portfolio that balances risk and rewards that are aligned to the Council's risk appetite; ensuring the portfolio is diverse through avoiding sector and geographical concentration risks
• Developing a portfolio that yields a stable income stream for the Council;
• Making investments in assets that seek to protect the capital invested;
• Establishing a diverse portfolio that spreads risk by avoiding sector and geographical concentration risks Further details can be found in tender documentation.
