Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured consultancy services from an NEC Reporting Specialist to support the PSR Programme. The requirement falls within IT consulting and support services, covering specialist reporting support rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery was for Yorkshire and the Humber, with Sheffield City Council as the buying organisation. The procurement was structured as a service requirement for a named consultant resource. This is relevant to consultancies and specialist recruitment or professional services businesses able to provide NEC reporting expertise and support a public-sector programme environment. The named requirement indicates a focused assignment centred on reporting, consultancy and programme support for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. Gravitas Recruitment Group was selected on 4 August 2026 for £21,700 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 2 September 2026. The tender’s submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00 BST. The opportunity was for services, with no lots identified. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period match the procurement’s stated value and planned delivery period. The procurement records the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The available information identifies the direct-award route but does not set out separate quality, price or technical evaluation weightings.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Sheffield City Council, this award indicates a focused need for short-term NEC reporting consultancy to support a public-sector programme. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience producing or managing NEC-related reports, understanding reporting requirements in programme environments, and providing an individual consultant who can work to a defined and concentrated assignment. The requirement appears better suited to established specialist consultancies or recruitment and professional services businesses with access to experienced NEC reporting practitioners than to general IT providers. The recorded unsuitability for SMEs suggests that organisational scale or supplier capacity may matter when this type of requirement is considered again, alongside the ability to supply an appropriately skilled consultant quickly and reliably.
