Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service commissioned specialist procurement consultancy for construction-related framework services. The work covers supportive procurement, including compiling specialist industry specifications for framework procurement documentation, together with secondary procurement support, management and advisory services across the full procurement cycle for the proposed framework. This is a professional services requirement, classified under CPV 79418000 for procurement consultancy services. Delivery is associated with Eastleigh, Hampshire, where the fire and rescue service is headquartered. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is aimed at consultancies able to advise on construction procurement and to produce technically informed framework documentation, while also providing hands-on support through procurement planning, management and completion.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service used a limited procedure based on competitive quotation below the public procurement threshold. The tender submission deadline was 24 July 2026 and the contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to KJP UK Limited trading as One Consulting Group (OCG). The awarded value is £42,500 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 1 April 2028. The tender record gives an earlier estimated contract end date of 1 April 2027, but the award records the operative period through 1 April 2028. One supplier was selected for the consultancy requirement.

For a consultancy competing for similar work, this award demonstrates demand from a fire and rescue service for specialist construction procurement advice rather than construction delivery itself. A credible supplier would need to understand public-sector and below-threshold procurement routes, develop clear industry specifications, and translate construction requirements into usable framework documentation. It would also need sufficient capacity to support the buyer through the complete procurement cycle, including procurement management and practical advisory work after initial documentation is prepared. The buyer’s selection of an SME shows that a smaller specialist consultancy can be considered for this scale of requirement. Relevant experience should therefore combine construction-sector knowledge with demonstrable public procurement, framework design, specification-writing and client advisory capability.
