Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has completed a public procurement process for consultancy services, awarding a contract with a value of £275,000 to PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP. The procurement was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from the London Borough of Barnet Council's Audit Assurance and Advisory Service Framework. The contract, classified under CPV code 79000000, covers business services such as law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The initial tender period concluded on 1st April 2025, followed by a contract period from 2nd April to 26th September 2025. The procurement process, primarily aimed at services, was specifically conducted within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and advisory sectors, particularly those with the capability to deliver high-quality advisory services under established frameworks. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) should especially note the suitability criteria that favour their involvement. The awarded contract to a large firm indicates that businesses with substantial experience might be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging in such frameworks can aid organisations in expanding their government portfolio, enhancing credibility, and establishing long-term contracts.
