Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by Lancashire County Council, involved awarding a contract for "Support for the Local Government Reorganisation Preparation Programme". Categorised under business and management consultancy services, the contract is aimed at providing external support for the disaggregation of the County Council in preparation for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). The contracting authority, based in Preston, conducted the tender through a direct, below-threshold procurement method without competition. The contract award was completed, with the contract being active from 1st April 2026 to 31st July 2026, with potential extensions up to November if additional capacity is needed. The total contract value was £204,000 (including VAT), and was signed on 27th March 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy services, particularly those specialising in government restructuring and organisational change management. The contract was awarded to Newtrality Ltd, a small to medium enterprise, suggesting that similar firms with expertise in business and management consultancy services could benefit from future opportunities in similar government projects.
