Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured specialist services to develop a communication and behavioural change strategy for its waste services. The requirement is a services contract focused on business consulting, marketing and communications rather than the supply of physical waste equipment or collection operations. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The work is relevant to consultancies, communications agencies and behavioural insight specialists that can help a local authority understand audiences, shape messages and encourage changes in waste-related behaviour. The named buyer is West Northamptonshire Council, based in Northampton. The procurement is categorised as business services and the main procurement category is services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to BEHAVIOUR CHANGE LIMITED. The award date was 30 June 2026, following a tender deadline of 30 June 2026. It used a limited procedure through competitive quotation below the threshold. The awarded value was £82,990 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and was evaluated through the competitive quotation process. This is an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a response, and the named supplier is responsible for delivering the strategy development service.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined local-authority need for specialist waste communications and behavioural change work. A credible competitor for similar work would need to combine strategic communications with practical behavioural insight, audience understanding and the ability to turn research into an actionable waste-services strategy. Experience of working with councils or other public bodies would help demonstrate an understanding of public-service objectives, stakeholder sensitivities and community-facing communications. Smaller consultancies and agencies are relevant because the requirement was expressly suitable for SMEs. Suppliers should be able to manage a focused consultancy assignment, communicate clearly with a council, and show evidence that their strategies can influence public behaviour around waste.
