Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council commissioned business and management consultancy services for infrastructure and utilities coordination supporting the Samlesbury Enterprise Zone and Innovation programme. The requirement covers coordination activity connected with infrastructure and utility provision for this enterprise and innovation development. The work is categorised under CPV 79410000 and falls within the services category. Delivery was in the North West of England, with the procurement referring to the United Kingdom. This is a council-led requirement for a specialist consultancy able to work with the public sector and coordinate infrastructure and utilities considerations in the context of an enterprise zone. The named buying organisation is Lancashire County Council, based in Preston.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the NEPRO3 arrangement. The tender closed on 24 April 2026 at 12:00. Lancashire County Council awarded the contract to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd on 6 May 2026. The awarded value was £53,078, and the contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 31 January 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The published tender value and awarded value are both £53,078. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots.

This award demonstrates demand from Lancashire County Council for consultancy supporting infrastructure and utilities coordination around a major enterprise-zone and innovation development. A credible future competitor would need practical business and management consultancy capability, with experience of coordinating infrastructure and utility requirements across a complex development environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to be able to bring together public-sector stakeholders, infrastructure providers, utility companies, developers and technical advisers, and turn their inputs into coordinated plans and recommendations. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a focused consultancy with the necessary coordination experience can be commercially relevant without the scale of a large national professional-services firm. The strongest positioning would combine clear stakeholder management, infrastructure understanding and evidence of delivering coordinated development advice.
