Summary of the contracting process

Tewkesbury Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the Gloucestershire Housing and Economic Needs Assessment. The contract, valued at £95,160 GBP, was awarded on 29 August 2025. The procurement involved an open procedure with services categorised under CPV code 73000000, indicating a focus on research and development services and related consultancy. The contract period commenced on 15 September 2025 and is set to conclude on 14 April 2026. The primary delivery location is the United Kingdom, although the service extends to British Oversea Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and other regions. This opportunity targeted suppliers interested in contributing to housing and economic research and development services.

The Gloucestershire Housing and Economic Needs Assessment tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in consulting, research, and development services to expand their market presence and establish key partnerships within the public sector. Tewkesbury Borough Council's contract offers a valuable platform for businesses adept in community-oriented consultancy to enhance their service portfolio and leverage public sector contracts for growth. Although the contract suitability does not specifically favour SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), companies specialising in regional economic assessments, with the capability to deliver across identified territories, will find this project well aligned with their strategic objectives. Suppliers such as DLP Planning, Opinion Research Services Ltd, and Rapleys LLP are notable contributors, suggesting robust expertise is required to successfully engage in similar future tenders.
