AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
Coventry City Council is looking for specialist consultancy services to provide prevention insights and strategic advice for their 'One Coventry' programme. This is a call-off contract, meaning you'd be selected from an existing national framework agreement (ESPO Consultancy Services), rather than competing in an open tender.
Requirements
- Must be registered on the ESPO Consultancy Services framework (664_25) — if you're not already on it, you cannot bid for this call-off
- Demonstrated expertise in prevention services and prevention-focused strategy
- Experience providing specialist insights and consultancy to local authorities or public sector bodies
- No specific additional certifications mentioned — check the full tender documents for insurance, compliance, or other requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Provide specialist prevention insights relevant to the One Coventry integrated care programme
- Deliver strategic consultancy advice to support prevention priorities and service design
- Work with Coventry City Council to shape prevention-focused approaches within the One Coventry framework
How to Read This Tender
- 1Understand that this is a 'call-off' contract — you're bidding against companies already approved on the ESPO framework, not competing in an open process. If you're not on ESPO 664_25, you'll need to join that framework first (or it may be too late for this specific call-off).
- 2ESPO is the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation's consultancy framework used by many UK councils. Check the ESPO website to see if you're already registered and what services you're listed under.
- 3The description is quite brief — the detailed scope, timescales, budget, and evaluation criteria will be in the full tender documents. Download these immediately to understand what 'prevention insights' actually means in Coventry's context.
- 4Look for: contract value, contract duration, expected weekly/monthly time commitment, and whether this is a one-off project or ongoing retainer.
- 5Flag any deadlines for questions, clarifications, or bid submission — these are usually tight for call-off contracts.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not on the ESPO framework yet, contact ESPO directly to see if you can join for future opportunities — but you'll likely miss this specific call-off. Consider it a learning exercise and plan framework registration for next time.
- This looks like a small-to-medium specialist advisory contract — ideal for independent consultants or small consultancy firms. You may face competition from larger consultancies, but emphasise your local knowledge of Coventry and prevention services if you have it.
- Check whether social value scoring applies (many council contracts now include it). If it does, emphasise any local employment, community benefit, or prevention-focused initiatives your firm supports.
