Summary of the contracting process

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council procured project management services for elements of its Area Growth Plan projects. The requirement is classified as construction project management services and covers work in the North East of England, including the council’s area. The service is intended to manage and deliver project activity within the council’s wider growth programme, rather than supply construction materials or undertake construction works directly. The procurement is categorised as a service opportunity and was arranged through the Bloom framework. The published description states that Cohesion Consult delivered the services via Bloom Procurement Services Ltd. This makes the requirement relevant to project management consultancies and firms experienced in coordinating public-sector growth, infrastructure or construction-related programmes in the North East.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2023, and the award was made on 31 March 2023. Bloom Procurement Services Ltd was awarded the contract for £102,700. The tender described an intended contract period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2025; the awarded contract period runs from 1 April 2023 to 31 October 2026. The process was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award record names Bloom as the supplier, while the service description identifies Cohesion Consult as the delivery consultancy. No separate award scoring basis is stated.

This procurement demonstrates that Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council buys externally provided project management capacity for Area Growth Plan work through the Bloom framework. A credible future supplier would need to manage public-sector projects connected with construction, infrastructure or local economic growth, and to coordinate delivery across multiple project elements. Experience of working for councils, producing structured project controls, managing risks, programmes, budgets and stakeholders, and reporting progress to public-sector decision-makers would be directly relevant. Firms should also be able to operate through the applicable framework route, either as a framework provider or as a specialist delivery partner. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist consultancies can be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary project management capability and capacity.
