Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "External Support for Local Government Reorganisation in East Sussex" has been initiated by Wealden District Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Hailsham, United Kingdom. The process, which is currently in the contract amendment stage, involves consultancy services aimed at facilitating discussions, constructing proposals, and analysing evidence for local government reorganisation. The recent amendment outlines an extension of consultancy services, with a revised end date of 31st December 2025, and a gross amount of £288,000. The project falls under the industry categories of business analysis and project management consultancy services, covering a broad region across the UK. Initial contract stages were completed with an award to RORETTI LIMITED, conducted through a limited procurement method due to being below the threshold, emphasising limited competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy, particularly those offering project management and business analysis services. Companies equipped with expertise in local government operations and restructuring would find this contract beneficial for expanding their business presence across multiple UK regions. As it leverages specialised consultancy support for reorganisation efforts, it is particularly well-suited for small to medium enterprises able to deliver strategic insights and support required by local councils during such transformative projects.
