Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded a contract for the "NLPU Data Strategy" project, classified under business analysis consultancy services (CPV code: 72221000). This project, located in the United Kingdom, falls under the services category and involves a comprehensive data strategy initiative aimed at discovering and analysing the current data landscape across 12 lottery distributors. The procurement process was executed as a limited procedure, allowing award without prior competition publication, under the justification that it falls outside the directive's scope. The contract, valued at £82,800, was signed with RedRock Consulting Limited on 7th July 2025, marking the project's completion phase.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in data strategy and business analysis consultancy services. SMEs like RedRock Consulting Limited have demonstrated competitiveness in such procurements, indicating that similarly positioned firms could benefit from aligning their expertise with public sector needs. The project creates potential for collaboration through cross-distributor workshops and offers the scope for extended engagement, given the option to extend the contract for up to three months. Firms with a keen understanding of data barriers and strategic implementation in large organisations, especially those with experience in developing unified strategies, are likely to be well-suited for such opportunities.
