Summary of the contracting process

Peabody Trust procured commercial advisory services, described as business and management consultancy, for delivery in London. The requirement was for commercial advice; the published scope does not break this down into specific workstreams or deliverables. Peabody Trust is the buying organisation. The procurement was classified as a services contract, and its stated suitability settings exclude small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful supplier, Montagu Evans LLLP, is a large firm, indicating that the buyer selected an established consultancy for this requirement. The work relates to Peabody Trust’s commercial advisory needs rather than general management consultancy opportunities, so suppliers should assess their experience against advisory services for this buyer and a London-based delivery context.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Montagu Evans LLLP on 29 September 2026. The award value is £117,500. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 1 August 2027. The stated tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. The source gives no further detail on the procurement method or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which submissions were compared cannot be described. No lots are identified. The published value for the tender and award is the same; it is reported here as the awarded value. The contract period is the period attached to the award and indicates the term for which the selected supplier was engaged.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Peabody Trust buys commercial advisory services from external consultancies. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to demonstrate relevant commercial advisory and business management consultancy capability, with the capacity to serve a London-based client. The buyer selected a large consultancy, and the tender’s suitability settings did not designate the requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs; firms should therefore consider whether they can offer the scale and organisational capacity expected for this work. The stated scope is broad, so relevant experience should be clearly tied to commercial advice for Peabody Trust rather than unrelated consultancy services. The award provides a reference point for the type of supplier the buyer selected, but does not identify specific accreditations, technical qualifications or evaluation weightings.
