UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Sheffield City Council, revolves around the recruitment for a NEC Technical Consultant to support the PSR programme. This initiative is classified under the services industry category, specifically focusing on business and management consultancy. The procurement was finalised through a direct method, opting for a below-threshold approach without competition. The award was completed on 4th February 2026, following the signing of the contract on 1st February 2026. The contract, valued at £136,753, spans from 2nd February 2026 to 27th September 2026, with services being delivered in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those involved in business and management consultancy. Due to the non-competitive nature of the procurement, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Gravitas Recruitment Limited, the awarded supplier, are well-positioned for such opportunities. Organisations with expertise in consultancy services that can offer strategic support and solutions stand to benefit greatly from similar procurement exercises. The local procurement by a sub-central government authority like Sheffield City Council highlights the commitment to engage with capable suppliers for specialised consultancy support.
