Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk commissioned professional project management consultancy services for its Guildhall Project. The work covers programme governance and supporting management information, including an overall Gantt programme, monthly dashboard, programme reporting, master cost-versus-budget summary, risk summary and a programme look-ahead calendar. It also includes stakeholder requirements planning and preparation of assurance framework documents. This is a services requirement focused on programme controls, reporting, cost monitoring, risk management, stakeholder coordination and assurance rather than construction delivery itself. The work is delivered for the council in King’s Lynn, England, under the Guildhall Project. The relevant service classification is project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 May 2026 following a selective call-off from the Bloom Procurement Services framework. The tender submission deadline was 19 May 2026 at noon. Greyfriars Project Management Ltd was selected for a contract valued at £27,600. The contract runs from 25 May 2026 to 1 October 2026. The award description confirms that it was made under the Bloom Procurement Services framework. The published process identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It records one award and one supplier, with the award status active. The procurement concerns services, and the available information does not set out a separate lot structure or detailed award-scoring formula.

This award demonstrates demand from the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk for external programme management support on a major civic project. A credible future competitor would need to provide practical programme governance alongside reliable reporting and control tools: integrated Gantt planning, dashboards, cost-versus-budget monitoring, risk reporting and forward-look scheduling. Capability in gathering and managing stakeholder requirements, and in producing assurance framework documentation, is also central to the requirement. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist small business can deliver this type of council support through a framework route. Firms with a focused project-controls and programme-assurance offer, able to coordinate information clearly for public-sector decision-making, are the closest fit.
