The consultancy contract will be managed on a day-to-day basis by Neville Rookes, Policy Officer. However, the consultancy support will be expected to work as part of a team, ensuring that activities dovetail with and complement other TaRSP -related work being undertaken within the WLGA. To this end, bidders will be expected to commit to frequent and effective dialogue with appropriate WLGA officers throughout the period.
Brief proposals from prospective consultants (no more than five sides of A4 plus appendices) should be made in the following format and include an itemised quotation. There is no set tender document to complete:
· full contact details of the applicant.
· details of the credentials of the consultant or consultancy and of the individual(s) to be involved in the project, specifically identifying the key employees.
· details of relevant experience.
· an explanation of what you can offer in response to the ‘purpose and objectives’ outlined in section B above.
· initial thoughts on the types of material that you believe might be of use to LAs.
· details of potential fee arrangements - for example:
§ an indicative cost breakdown based on undertaking an entire support role throughout the period up to March 2021, or
§ the hourly rates that would apply (for named individuals) to undertake different types of ‘call-off’ work - for research and report writing - and with details of any other relevant activities for which charges would be applied), or
§ indicative cost breakdowns for typical pieces of work, to include administration and other on-costs (for report preparation and production; along with details of any other relevant activities for which charges would be applied – e.g. travel and subsistence)
