Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, managed by Nottinghamshire County Council, was focused on developing a high-level plan for growth and infrastructure for the East Midlands Combined County Authority. Classed under the industry category of business and management consultancy, the open procedure tender was valued at £71,249. The contract covered services within the United Kingdom, specifically in England. The procurement process has advanced to the award stage with a start date for the contract being 1st February 2025, concluding on 31st March 2025. The key dates involved included the tender period end on 27th January 2025 and the award published on 26th June 2025.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those operating as Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), due to its suitability for such entities. Given the focus on management consultancy services, firms with expertise in strategic planning and infrastructure development in regional frameworks would be especially well-suited to compete for such an opportunity. Companies that can offer innovative planning solutions and have experience engaging with local authorities to drive growth are likely to find this kind of contract conducive to business expansion and development. Inner Circle Consulting, a London-based SME, successfully secured this contract, highlighting the potential for smaller operations to compete effectively in this domain.
