Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority initiated the "Project Lift Off" procurement process aimed at conducting due diligence on the TIAL Business Plan via a competitive framework agreement. The procurement was categorised under business services, focusing on consulting, and took place in the North East of the United Kingdom. The process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from the CCS RM6187 Management Consultancy Framework (MCF3). The tender reached the award stage on 29th August 2024, with a contract start date scheduled for 20th September 2024, concluding on 30th April 2025. The total contract value was £60,000. The tender was open to SMEs, providing an opportunity for smaller businesses to compete in the services category.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for consultancy firms that specialise in management and business analysis services. Given the involvement of KPMG UK Limited as the awarded supplier, other large or medium-sized firms with a strong track record in consultancy could have been well-positioned to compete. The contract period outlined allows for strategic planning and execution, which is ideal for firms looking to strengthen their reputation in public sector consulting. As the Tees Valley Combined Authority is a relatively influential buyer within the region, securing such contracts could also lead to further networking and business opportunities in upcoming projects.
