Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Sheffield Business and Economy Decarbonisation Route map", focused on consultancy services to aid in developing decarbonisation strategies involving extensive stakeholder engagement. This open competition procurement, categorised under business development consultancy services, was executed as a contract award on 28th July 2025, following an earlier tender phase. The procurement activities took place in Sheffield, within the region of UKE32. The project, valued at £60,000, spans from 14th July 2025 to 13th February 2026. The award decision was carried out under the legal framework of the UK Public General Act 2023/54.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses offering consultancy services in business development, analysis, and management domains, particularly those specialising in sustainability and decarbonisation strategies. While large firms such as Ove Arup & Partners Ltd have been involved, the procurement criteria also favoured SMEs and VCSEs, making the opportunity suitable for a diverse range of business sizes. Companies capable of delivering high-quality assessments and method statements in accordance with the competitive open procurement method—with weight placed significantly on quality over price—would find such opportunities advantageous for growth.
