[DescrProcurement]

This is a Contract Award Notice
We are looking for a provider to enable the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner (OPCC) to host an innovative public engagement event in the form of a citizen assembly.
The purpose of the assembly will be to seek the views of a randomly selected representative sample of the population on the issue of policing in their area. This is part of the Commissioner’s plan to better understand the community’s feelings about the policing of their local area. He wants to give communities a voice in better informing how we police and believes that hosting a Citizens’ Assembly will help him do this. The successful provider will facilitate the citizens assembly, which will be used to inform future plans for engagement as well as inform the ongoing development of the Commissioner’s Police & Crime Plan. The provider will include all the related administration to identify the audience and interact with them, facilitating the event, as well as assisting in the development of the assembly’s recommendations.
Full details of the requirements can be found in the Specification which is available within the on-line tender on the Bluelight e-tendering portal.
This contract is being advertised through an Open Above Threshold tender process in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This contract is only initially for the first pilot event and is anticipated to be for the period from award through to 31 March 2025. If the pilot is successful, there will be an option(s) to extend to cover further events to be organised with the same provider in increments of not less than 6 months up to 31 March 2028. It is anticipated that the response to this initial tender will focus on the holding of the pilot event, with some indicative costings (rate card) for further events if they were to be arranged.
This contract is only initially for the first pilot event and is for the period from award through to 31 March 2025 at a value of £93,990.00 . The total value of this contract linked to the options set out above is set at £500,000.00.
