Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council procured consultancy services from an adult health and wellbeing services delivery partner. The requirement is classified as business and management consultancy and covers delivery in the North West of England. The work sits within the council’s adult health and wellbeing service activity and is intended to provide consultancy support through a delivery partner. The procurement is categorised as a service opportunity and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, is also recorded as an SME. This indicates a requirement that can be delivered by a specialist consultancy or an intermediary with access to suitable consultancy expertise for adult health and wellbeing services in Lancashire and the wider North West.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Lancashire County Council used a direct award through a third-party framework, under the NEPRO 3 consultancy route. The contract was awarded to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd on 1 July 2026 for £1,198,363. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 11 May 2026 at 12:00 noon. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £1,198,363, in pounds sterling. The process concerns one service requirement delivered in the North West, rather than separately identified lots. The award was made through the framework route rather than an open competition for this individual requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Lancashire County Council, this award demonstrates a substantial, defined requirement for adult health and wellbeing consultancy delivered through the NEPRO 3 third-party framework route. A credible competitor would need to provide business and management consultancy capability focused on adult health and wellbeing service delivery, with the capacity to operate as a delivery partner rather than only provide isolated advice. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist consultancies may be well placed where they can evidence relevant delivery capability and work within a framework-based direct award environment. Suppliers should be able to support council-led service requirements in the North West and present a reliable delivery model for a concentrated consultancy engagement.
