Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured strategic advisory services for planning local government reorganisation across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The work concerns helping plan the reorganisation of local government arrangements across these areas, rather than delivering general management consultancy. It is a professional business and management consultancy service, classified under CPV 79400000, and falls within the services category. Delivery is in England, covering the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland area. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was structured as a single lot focused on strategic advice for local government reorganisation planning. Businesses offering public-sector strategy, organisational change, local government transformation or related advisory services may find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective restricted procedure. The estimated procurement value was £120,000. Bids had to be submitted by 17 August 2026 at 23:59. The award was made on 19 August 2026 to Newtrality Ltd for £111,200. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. The award is active, and the contract covers the same strategic advisory requirement for local government reorganisation planning. The published outcome identifies one successful supplier. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, which indicates that organisations of those types were considered capable of participating in the procurement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award identifies a clear buyer requirement for specialist strategic advice on local government reorganisation planning in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate business and management consultancy capability, with practical expertise in local government strategy, organisational redesign and the planning of changed governance arrangements. Experience of advising councils or other public bodies on complex transformation programmes would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where it can show structured analysis, senior stakeholder advice and the ability to turn reorganisation plans into workable arrangements. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist firms with relevant public-sector advisory experience could be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns.
