Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council has successfully completed a direct procurement process for the acquisition of consultancy services to support its business justification case for acquiring a children’s home. This contract, awarded to 31Ten Consulting Limited, falls under the services category, specifically research and development services and related consultancy, with activities governed by the UKPGA 2023/54 legal framework. The contract, which commenced on 15th July 2026 and will conclude on 16th October 2026, was awarded without competition due to its below-threshold classification. The services will primarily be delivered within Pembrokeshire, UK, adhering to Welsh devolved regulations.

Gaining contracts like these can enhance their portfolio and expand influence within the public sector landscape. The meticulous approach of Pembrokeshire County Council to direct procurement underlines the preference for established expertise and specific industry fit, making it pertinent for skilled consultancies looking to penetrate or expand their reach within the government's procurement circuit.
