Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned an external organisation to map employment and skills support services available to Surrey residents. The intended outcome is a self-service directory for residents and service providers. The work covers research into existing employment and skills provision, related consultancy and engagement with organisations providing recruitment and job-search support. The procurement is led by Surrey County Council, based at Woodhatch Place in Reigate, for activity serving Surrey and its residents. The classification identifies research services, with related classifications for research and development consultancy, business and management consultancy, recruitment services and job-search services. Although the procurement record categorises the main requirement as works, the described requirement is a short research and consultancy assignment focused on employment support services and information mapping.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bids closed at 12:00 on 9 July 2026. Surrey County Council estimated the procurement at £33,000, including the stated GBP currency. The contract was awarded to Everything D&I Ltd on 3 September 2026. The award record shows a value of £0, while the underlying procurement estimate was £33,000; these figures should not be treated as interchangeable. The contract period runs from 1 September to 31 October 2026. The awarded contract is active. The published process used a request-for-quotation approach, as indicated by the tender title, and the award was made to a single supplier. The record identifies the procurement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for suppliers able to research and organise local employment and skills support provision into a usable directory. A credible future competitor would need practical knowledge of employment support, skills programmes, recruitment and job-search services, together with the ability to identify providers, gather consistent information and map provision across Surrey. The requirement also calls for consultancy capability: understanding the local support landscape, presenting findings clearly and designing information that residents and providers can use without specialist assistance. Organisations with experience in public-sector research, service mapping, stakeholder engagement and directory or information-resource development would be well placed. The awarded supplier’s success indicates that the council valued an external organisation able to combine employment-sector knowledge with structured research and accessible outputs.
