Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council procured business analysis consultancy services to appoint a strategic partner working alongside its local government reorganisation (LGR) delivery programme. The work is consultancy support for the council’s LGR programme, delivered in the East of England. The procurement is a services requirement under CPV 72221000, covering business analysis consultancy. The buyer is Hertfordshire County Council, based in Hertford. The selected partner is expected to work alongside the council’s programme rather than supply a standalone product or construction project. This is therefore relevant to consultancies with experience supporting public-sector transformation, organisational change, local government reorganisation or related business analysis and strategic delivery programmes in the East of England.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Hertfordshire County Council used a selective call-off from ESPO Framework Agreement 664_25 Consultancy Services. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to IMPOWER Consulting Limited on 21 September 2026 for £342,514.80 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 28 April 2028. The award is active. The procurement was not reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was conducted as a framework call-off, so competition was limited to suppliers eligible to participate through the relevant framework arrangement. The award covers the strategic partner consultancy requirement for the council’s LGR delivery programme.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Hertfordshire County Council’s demand for a substantial strategic consultancy partner to support local government reorganisation delivery. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable business analysis consultancy capability, experience working alongside a public-sector transformation programme and the capacity to provide sustained strategic support over a substantial delivery period. The requirement also indicates that the council values suppliers able to operate as an integrated partner rather than provide isolated advice. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses considering similar work should therefore assess their scale, public-sector delivery experience, framework access and ability to support complex organisational change programmes.
