Summary of the contracting process

The Gateshead Borough Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Changing Futures Programme Extension - Extended Funding". This initiative is part of a collaborative funding effort by MHCLG and The National Lottery Communities Fund (TNLCF) to extend support for local service reform through to 31 March 2026. The contract, valued at £108,865.2, was awarded on 18 March 2025, with services commencing on 1 April 2025. Falling under the services category, specifically business analysis consultancy services, it was procured using a direct method below the competitive threshold, resulting in an active contract with award statuses in the UKC22 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies involved in delivering consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in business analysis. Businesses that can offer innovative approaches to service reform will find this market initiative conducive to showcasing their capabilities. Large VCSE (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise) organisations such as the awarded Transmit Enterprise Community Interest Company and Changing Futures Northumbria are well-positioned to leverage such opportunities, indicating potential avenues for similar large-scale operations to engage in public sector projects and expand their market presence.
