Tender description

Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to build understanding of the market and improve and capture views on specific aspects of the future requirements for a Community Directory. Initially, a response to the Care Act 2014 requirement to support people to find information, support and services in their area including those provided by the voluntary sector, the website provides people and professionals with a directory of services on social care, health and wellbeing. The site now also fulfils statutory requirements under the Children’s and Families Act 2014, The Childcare Act 2006 and The Accessible Information Standard 2015 by operating as the digital directory for the SEND Local Offer, the Local Offer for Care Leavers, the Virtual Family Hub and information from Ofsted on all registered childcare provision.

About the buyer

Nottinghamshire County Council is a local authority whose procurement runs through a single, award-winning centralised team. Suppliers register on EastMidsTenders, the council's online tendering portal, to search for and submit tenders. Contracts above a published threshold are advertised there. The procurement team is organised into categories that mirror the council's own service areas, spanning adult social care, children's and cultural services, the chief executive's office and place-based services. A procurement pipeline lists contracts due for re-tender and new projects over the next two years, and is refreshed annually.

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 Nottinghamshire County Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, transport equipment and architectural and engineering services.
