Tender description

Direct award under Constellia. To better understand local needs, experiences and systemic challenges, in the context of ongoing reforms, Bedford Borough Council (BBC) will conduct a SEND & AP system-wide review. The system mapping will provide a succinct, all-in-one-place diagnostic of where BBC stands “as-is” for reform objectives and the supporting Strategic Delivery Plan. Following upon this, the Readiness Plan will build shared ownership and clarity with stakeholders on the specific system changes that are needed to bridge from “as-is” to the planned end state for the Change Programme (“to-be”).

About the buyer

Bedford Borough Council is a local authority serving the borough of Bedford, with procurement split between individual service departments and a central Commercial Hub team. Service departments handle day-to-day tenders, quotations and sourcing for their own areas. Every opportunity is advertised through In-Tend, the council's e-tendering portal, where supplier registration is free. Higher-value contracts also appear on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. The Commercial Hub team manages a number of corporate contracts and looks for savings across departments. That same portal doubles as a contract register, tracking expiry dates and scheduled reviews for live agreements.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Bedford Borough Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, business services and construction work.
