The procurement process undertaken by the City of Doncaster Council involved a direct award for "DSA Advisory Services," a project centred around technical analysis or consultancy services. The procurement falls within the services industry category and is classified under the CPV code 71621000. The contract was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment, a large-scale organisation, with the official award taking place on 4th July 2025. This project spans multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and other British territories, and commenced on 16th June 2025, with an end date of 28th September 2025. The tender stage has reached completion, marking the conclusion of the contract period established for this project.

The tender for DSA Advisory Services presents numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and technical analysis, particularly those that are direct suppliers.

It is particularly advantageous for SMEs, as indicated by the suitability criteria, suggesting that small to medium-sized enterprises could potentially align their resources to effectively support similar projects. Businesses with a focus on expanding their consultancy services to government and public sector clients may find this insight valuable for strategic decision-making and growth planning.
