Description

Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) is focused on helping to drive forward sustainable economic growth - with local business, education providers, the third sector and the public sector working together to achieve this. We help to foster the relationships for partnership working to flourish.

Our aim is to create the right conditions to "accelerate business-led economic growth in Hertfordshire" and for the county to become a world-leading economy; one of the top three in the country outside London.

At present Hertfordshire LEP funds a number of different consultancy arrangements. We would like to consolidate these arrangements into a single Contract with the aim of providing better value for money and in order to ensure a more joined-up approach between the different Lots making up the Contract. To that end we are looking to appoint a single Contractor to each Lot which has been split as follows;

Lot 1 - Economic Development Strategy and Economic Research
Lot 2 - Project Development and Feasibility
Lot 3 - Project Appraisal, Monitoring and Evaluation
Lot 4 - Planning & Transport Policy Advice

This procurement is an Open (one stage process). Suppliers wishing to take part in this project are invited to 'express interest' which will give access to the full procurement documents in the e-tendering system.

To be considered as a Bidder you must complete and submit a Bid by the deadline of 12.00 Noon on 23rd October 2018

Any questions relating to this procurement must be made via correspondence on the website, in accordance with the procurement documents and can be addressed to the main contact as shown in the details above.

Please allow sufficient time to make your return as late returns will not be permitted by the system
