UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council commissioned consultancy and related research services to prepare a business justification case for acquiring a children’s home. The work supports the council’s consideration of acquiring a residential children’s care facility, rather than the construction, operation or direct provision of the home itself. The procurement is for professional advisory services, classified under research and development and related consultancy services. Delivery is in West Wales, within the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Pembrokeshire County Council, a Welsh sub-central public authority. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to consultancies that prepare business cases and provide evidence-based advice for public-sector acquisition or investment decisions involving children’s services and residential care facilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with 31Ten Consulting Limited selected by Pembrokeshire County Council. The award is active and the contract is active. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 15 July 2026 to 16 October 2026. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. The award covers one lot and relates to the preparation of the business justification case for acquiring a children’s home. The available outcome shows a single selected supplier and a single contract for this consultancy requirement. The process is governed by the Procurement Act 2023.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Pembrokeshire County Council for specialist advisory support before committing to the acquisition of a children’s home. A credible future competitor would need to combine public-sector business-case preparation with research, financial and commercial analysis, and an understanding of children’s residential care. The relevant capability is to assess whether an acquisition is justified and to present clear, evidence-based recommendations that can support council decision-making. Experience of Welsh local-government governance, public-sector investment approvals and children’s services would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also indicates that the council may use a focused, below-threshold route for specialist consultancy, so firms should be able to explain their expertise clearly and deliver a concise, decision-ready business case.
