Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, involved the direct award of a contract for the role of a Contract Planning Officer. The procurement fell under the industry category of services, specifically "Supply services of office personnel", and was conducted for a public authority in the sub-central government sector. The procurement process was notably below the threshold and concluded without competition, focusing on the region of East of England (UKH16). The finalised contract commenced on 22nd June 2026 and is set to conclude on 22nd December 2026. This undertaking was subsequently awarded to CARRINGTON WEST LIMITED, based in Portsmouth, offering potential subcontract opportunities for other businesses.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for service-oriented businesses, particularly those specialising in office personnel or development management roles, to demonstrate their capabilities in a governmental setting. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in planning and processing applications are especially well-positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities. Engaging in such contracts can enhance business portfolios and open doors to further government projects within the United Kingdom.
