UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council has completed the procurement process for appointing a project manager to aid in the delivery of Leigh Port. This falls under the services category, specifically project management consultancy services, with a focus on the public authority – sub-central government sector. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold without competition, and aimed at businesses in the UK, with project deliveries in the UKJ region. The contract award was finalised on 31st December 2025, with the contract period running until 30th April 2026, and a gross value of £36,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in project management consultancy services, particularly those capable of managing and delivering infrastructure projects. It is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in public sector engagement and a strategic presence in the United Kingdom. Given Southend-on-Sea City Council's role as the buyer, organisations with experience in dealing with local government contracts could find this an advantageous opportunity to enhance their portfolio and secure an influential position in subsequent competitive tenders relating to regional development initiatives.
