In plain English

Central Bedfordshire Council wants to hire a provider to deliver community-based information, advice and guidance services, worth about £252,000. The full service specification and tender instructions are in the Invitation to Tender pack, which you can access through the council's In-tend electronic tendering system.

What the buyer wants

• Submit a complete proposal through the In-tend system, uploaded to the My Return section, by 12pm (noon) on 23/11/2026. Proposals sent through the correspondence facility will not be considered, and late proposals will be excluded. • Send any clarification questions through the In-tend Correspondence facility by 13/11/2026. Questions and answers are shared with all tenderers. • Read the Invitation to Tender documentation, which sets out the technical requirements for the service.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice itself does not set out eligibility criteria, so the real barriers sit in the Invitation to Tender documents, and any bid that is late or sent by the wrong route will be rejected.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
