Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council has awarded a contract to SQW Ltd for the implementation and delivery of evaluation plans under the Greater Cambridge Partnership Gateway commission work. This project falls under the industry category of Project Management Consultancy Services and is set in the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement process utilised an open procedure (above threshold), moving from tender initiation to the award stage, with the contract period starting on 19th May 2023 and ending on 31st March 2025. Key dates include the tender period's end on 30th April 2023 and the award date of 30th April 2023, with the announcement published on 23rd December 2024.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in project management and consultancy services to collaborate with local government on significant regional projects.
