Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured business and management consultancy services to support the development and delivery of the HSCCA’s Local Growth Plan. The work covers consultancy input to both planning and implementation of the growth plan, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with Southampton, England, at the council’s Civic Centre area. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a council requirement for a consultancy or advisory business able to work with a public-sector client on local economic growth planning and delivery. The named service category is business and management consultancy and related services, under CPV 79400000.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Metro Dynamics Limited on 19 August 2026. The award value is £115,345. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 2 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2026 at 12:00. Southampton City Council used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The awarded contract covers the full consultancy requirement for developing and delivering the HSCCA’s Local Growth Plan. The successful supplier is a large organisation. The recorded outcome is an active award, with the contract period already under way.

For a consultancy business that did not win this procurement, the award identifies a defined market need: practical support for a local authority’s growth plan, combining development of the plan with assistance in delivering it. A credible future competitor would need demonstrated business and management consultancy capability, experience translating economic or growth strategy into deliverable activity, and the capacity to work directly with a council and relevant local stakeholders. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist consultancy could be well placed if it can show comparable public-sector or place-based growth work, robust project management, clear advice, and sufficient resources to support both strategic development and implementation.
