Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council commissioned a high street business support programme for businesses located on Worksop high street. The service is intended to support local high street businesses through business development consultancy, delivered in Worksop. Welland Procurement managed the procurement in partnership with the Council. The programme is funded through Pride in Place funding allocated by the Worksop Together Board. The requirement is for a third-party supplier to provide the support service, rather than for the purchase of goods or construction works. It is classified as business development consultancy services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist business support providers, enterprise advisers and organisations with experience of local economic development.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition under the Procurement Act 2023. The tender deadline was 8 April 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 1 April 2026 at 17:00. Ten bids reached the final stage. YTKO LIMITED was awarded the contract on 7 May 2026 for £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. The awarded period runs from 26 May 2026 to 31 March 2028. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from that date to 31 March 2028. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted quality at 80% and price at 20%. Electronic submission was allowed, and participation was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local-authority requirement for practical support to high street businesses in Worksop, funded through a place-based regeneration programme. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show qualified and experienced staff who can deliver business development consultancy to multiple local businesses, understand the operating pressures faced by high street firms, and turn public funding into useful business support. Experience of working with councils, local partnerships or economic development programmes would help establish credibility, as would evidence of measurable support outcomes and effective engagement with small businesses. The successful supplier was an SME, and the requirement was also suitable for VCSEs, indicating that delivery capability and service quality were more important than large corporate scale. Ten final-stage bids show meaningful competition.
