Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured specialist consultancy support for its requirements in the South East of England. The work is a services contract for project management consultancy, with the procurement classified under CPV 72224000. It was a call-off from Lot 3 of the RM6309 Management Consultancy Framework Four, indicating a requirement for specialist management consultancy delivered through an established public sector framework. The council is based at The Castle in Winchester and is the buying organisation. The stated delivery area is the South East, so businesses would need to consider their ability to provide consultancy support in that geography. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while not being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The deadline for submissions was 29 May 2026 at 5pm. Hampshire County Council awarded the contract to Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP on 28 June 2026 for £302,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 8 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. The award is active, and the awarded value matches the original estimated procurement value of £302,000. The process concerned a single specialist consultancy requirement rather than separately reported lots or multiple awards. The published outcome therefore identifies one selected supplier, one awarded value and one delivery period for the council’s project management consultancy support.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indication that Hampshire County Council uses external specialist project management consultancy support and sources it through the RM6309 Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 3. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need a consultancy offer focused on project management and specialist management support, together with the organisational capacity to deliver for a county council in the South East. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller consultancy can be commercially relevant if it can meet the framework route and demonstrate a service proportionate to the requirement. Understanding this buyer’s use of framework call-offs and the scale of specialist support involved would help firms assess their fit for similar work.
