Tender description
Cambridge City Council requires consultancy support to contribute to a Business Case to be submitted to government in autumn 2025, and then into the implementation planning phase. At this stage the Council is looking for a consultant to support for two phases of work. • Development of Advice and Support (Phase 1) – this phase includes providing advice and support to help with the process of developing a business case for unitary councils, with specific expertise needed on the impact of new unitary authorities delivering Social Care services (Adult’s and Children’s Social Care, Education & Skills, SEND, Public Health, etc). This phase is anticipated to end in October 2025 at the latest • Implementation Planning (Phase 2) – this phase focuses on the development of an Implementation plan alongside the local authority team. This would build on the Implementation and Transition plan that is submitted in Autum 2025 alongside any business cases for new unitary authorities. This phase is anticipated to end in February 2026.
