UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "HCC 07/25 Quotation for third party contract spend review." This process was classified under the services industry category and aimed at reviewing third-party contract spending. The procurement, held in Stevenage, United Kingdom, progressed under a limited method of competition, which suggests a below-threshold procurement process. The tender was issued based on legal standards detailed in UK legislation 2023/54, with significant dates including the start of the contract on 15th September 2025 and its expected conclusion on 31st December 2025. The award was officially signed on 11th September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for large consultancy firms specialising in contract administration services. The contract was awarded to 31ten Consulting Limited, highlighting the opportunity for businesses capable of conducting comprehensive spend reviews and providing strategic financial recommendations to local government bodies. Companies experienced in negotiating and achieving savings in public sector contracts will find similar tenders advantageous for portfolio expansion. With the contract split into two phases—analysis and presentation, followed by negotiation—businesses can demonstrate their value in both strategic analytics and business negotiations, potentially influencing future procurements within the sub-central government sector.
