Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned a Digital Blueprint Workshop, classified as technical analysis or consultancy services. The work is a professional consultancy assignment intended to produce or support a digital blueprint, although the published scope does not give further detail on the workshop’s outputs. It falls within the services category and is to be delivered in England. Bristol City Council is the buying organisation. The opportunity is relevant to consultancies and specialist advisers providing digital strategy, technical analysis, service design or related blueprinting workshops for public-sector clients. It may also suit smaller firms, as the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded by direct award. The award was made to Constellia on 30 June 2026 for £10,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 29 June 2026 at 23:59. The procurement’s estimated value was £10,000. The award is active, and the awarded contract value matches the estimated procurement value. No lots are identified. The published procurement information classifies the requirement as services and technical analysis or consultancy, with the direct-award route used to select the supplier.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical expertise in digital analysis and consultancy, with the ability to plan and deliver a focused digital blueprint workshop for a local authority. Relevant capability would include translating technical or service needs into a clear blueprint, facilitating structured discussions with stakeholders, and producing useful outputs within a short, defined assignment. Experience of working with public-sector buyers would strengthen credibility, particularly where the work involves understanding organisational priorities and presenting recommendations in an accessible form. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy with focused digital strategy or technical-analysis expertise could compete effectively when the council next sources comparable work.
