Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Strategic Resources
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
To seek approval for the procurement of
Consultancy Services to support the LGR work.
That the Authority uses the Management
Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3) via Crown Commercial Services
(CCS) - Lot 3 - Complex & Transformation. To appoint up to 10
suppliers to provide consultancy support during the LGR
process.
Please note that this decision was taken under special urgency and
call in exemption procedures and is therefore not open to call
in.
This Framework has multiple suppliers offering
a range of specialisms giving us the opportunity to be flexible
with a fluid specification to call on consultants as and
when.
NYCC do not have the capacity and expertise to advise on these
matters in house and due to timescales the only viable option is to
utilise an existing Framework Agreement.
Discussions have taken place with CCS in
relation to the Management Consultancy Framework Two (MFC2) –
this was discounted due to the newly released Management
Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3).
