Summary of the contracting process

De Montfort University in Leicester has completed the procurement process for the LEAF Programme - Evaluation Consultant contract. This contract, related to evaluation consultancy services, is part of the ongoing Leicester Environmental Action & Future programme. The buying organisation falls under the sub-central government category, and the procurement was conducted using a limited method due to being below threshold. The contract period commenced on 14 January 2026, and it's expected to run until 30 September 2026, with potential extensions up to September 2028 based on funding. The award has been made to ArtReach Trust Ltd, a local SME situated in Leicester, indicating the contract is in the award stage, recently signed on 14 January 2026.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy services, particularly those with a focus on environmental and sustainability projects. The limited competition method suggests that smaller enterprises or specific niche consultancies are ideally positioned to engage and succeed in similar opportunities. Businesses with expertise in delivering high-quality consultancy services within the UK region, particularly in Leicester, can leverage such contracts to expand their portfolio and gain recognition in public sector engagements. Additionally, with potential contract renewals contingent on funding, there is scope for long-term collaboration for those demonstrating exceptional service delivery.
