Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Watford Borough Council, a regional authority based in the United Kingdom, conducted a procurement process titled "FM Procurement Consultancy Support" under the services category. This initiative aimed at providing procurement consultancy services for Hard and Soft FM Contracts across the UK. The procedure followed a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without a prior call for competition, due to the unique insights the chosen supplier, KJP UK LIMITED t/a ONE CONSULTING GROUP, has into the Council's operational systems. The contract, valued at GBP 71,402.20, was signed on 2nd March 2026, with the procurement stage being complete and the contract actively awarded.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in procurement consultancy services, particularly those with a working understanding of facility management and local government operations. Organisations with pre-existing knowledge of a client's systems and processes stand to gain a competitive advantage, as demonstrated by the direct award to ONE CONSULTING GROUP, who benefited from their extensive prior experience with Watford Borough Council. Companies aiming to expand their presence in the public sector, especially SMEs in the procurement consultancy domain, may find similar opportunities by developing niche expertise and leveraging established relationships with government bodies.
