Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council commissioned financial consultancy services to support its corporate transformation programme, Future Shape RBWM. The work covers corporate transformation support for the council, rather than a general financial services requirement. Delivery is associated with Maidenhead, England. The commissioning council is the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council, based at Town Hall in Maidenhead. This is a public-sector consultancy opportunity for organisations able to advise and support a local authority undertaking a structured programme of corporate change. The requirement is classified as financial consultancy services and falls within the wider services category. Its focus on Future Shape RBWM makes experience of transformation in a local-government or similarly complex public-sector environment commercially relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 September 2026 to HUMAN ENGINE LIMITED. The award value is £1,750,000, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The requirement was procured through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had an estimated value of £1,750,000, with submissions due by 21 September 2026. The council recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One active award is recorded, covering the full requirement. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement details, so the commercial outcome rests on the framework call-off process and the selected supplier’s successful response.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers tracking the council’s corporate transformation demand. A credible future competitor would need strong financial consultancy capability combined with the ability to support a local authority-wide transformation programme. Relevant firms should be able to work with senior public-sector stakeholders, translate strategic change into practical delivery, and manage complex organisational and financial issues across a council. The requirement also indicates a scale suited to established suppliers with substantial delivery capacity, rather than small or specialist providers working without the resources to support a major transformation programme. Experience of comparable council transformation, public-service redesign, financial strategy or programme delivery would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
