Summary of the contracting process

The Lancashire Constabulary has completed a procurement process for "Consultancy Professional Services - Capital Schemes (25-27)", awarding the contract to Mace Group Limited. This contract involves building consultancy services via the North West Construction Hub Professional Services Framework, with a total value of GBP 500,000. The procurement was conducted using a "Direct Award" method under the category of services. The award was confirmed on 25th March 2025, and the contract period runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. Services are to be delivered in Preston, England, specifically at postal code PR4 5SB.

This contract provides an opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in substantial consultancy projects, thereby enhancing their portfolio and industry reputation. As the procurement method was a direct award, businesses with existing frameworks or partnerships with public sector bodies such as the Lancashire Constabulary would have been well-suited to compete. The focus on building consultancy services suggests that organisations with expertise in construction consultancy stand to gain significantly from such frameworks, aligning with government initiatives for efficient public service infrastructures.
