Summary of the contracting process

Greensquareaccord Limited commissioned People – Consultancy 2026, a systems consultancy service to improve the business value of technology and change delivery. The work involves assessing pain points and opportunities in the existing technology and change organisational structure, recommending improvements, and helping customers identify potential technology cost-saving opportunities. This is a professional services requirement rather than a supply, construction or physical works contract. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Greensquareaccord Limited, a public authority based in Birmingham. The appointed supplier is Marlborough Consulting LLP, an SME consultancy based in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Marlborough Consulting LLP on 28 July 2026. It was conducted as a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 3 December 2026, with an optional two-month extension allowing the period to run to 3 February 2027. The awarded value is £29,625 excluding VAT, or £35,550 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome indicates that the requirement was treated as systems consultancy services, under CPV 72246000. No competitive tender or multi-supplier award was used.

This award shows demand from Greensquareaccord for specialist advisory support at the intersection of technology, organisational change and cost reduction. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to diagnose weaknesses in technology and change delivery structures, identify practical opportunity areas, and turn findings into implementable recommendations. Credible experience would include reviewing organisational operating models, assessing how technology and change services are delivered, and identifying realistic technology savings without losing delivery value. The requirement suits a focused consultancy with the ability to work across multiple parts of England and advise public-sector customers. An SME consultancy has been selected, indicating that scale alone is not the defining competitive advantage; relevant evidence, analytical capability and clear recommendations are likely to matter.
