Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "TVCA-PROC-0876 - Project Lift Off Two" was carried out by the Tees Valley Combined Authority, a public authority under sub-central government. The contract, aimed at reviewing updated assumptions underpinning Teesside International Airport's business plan, was awarded to KPMG LLP. Located at Teesside Airport Business Suite in Darlington, the buying organisation finalised the contract retroactively, with the procurement method marked as direct; no competition was required as it was below threshold.
