Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured external management consultancy support for the continued development and embedding of the REIP model, together with support for wider organisational priorities. The requirement is classified as general management consultancy services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the council based in Doncaster. The work is therefore suited to consultancies able to provide practical organisational support, help develop and embed operating models, and work alongside a local authority on broader priorities. The requirement concerns advisory and delivery support rather than the supply of physical goods, construction or infrastructure. It is a focused organisational improvement assignment for a public-sector buyer, with the selected provider expected to combine consultancy expertise with the ability to support implementation.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Reed Talent Solutions Limited was selected by City of Doncaster Council for £60,000. The award was made on 31 March 2026, with the contract running from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The requirement was awarded through the YPO Consultancy+ public framework. The tender submission deadline was 30 March 2026. The procurement used an ‘other’ method, and the award relates to a single management consultancy requirement rather than separately identified lots. The contract covers external support for developing and embedding the REIP model and supporting wider organisational priorities. The award is active, and the recorded contract period matches the period stated for the requirement.

For a supplier assessing future work with City of Doncaster Council, this award indicates demand for hands-on organisational consultancy that continues beyond initial recommendations. A credible competitor would need experience developing and embedding organisational or operating models, supporting implementation in a public-sector environment, and aligning specialist work with wider corporate priorities. The requirement favours a provider able to supply external consultants who can work collaboratively with council teams, translate a model into practical delivery, and maintain momentum across a defined assignment. The selected supplier is a large organisation, while the opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Relevant evidence would include comparable local-authority assignments, strong management consultancy capability, delivery capacity and an established route to public-sector frameworks such as YPO Consultancy+.
