UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council commissioned consultancy services to support the statutory consultation process for selective licensing. The requirement concerns project management consultancy, including the organisation and delivery of consultation activity connected with selective licensing. The buyer is Halton Borough Council, a local public authority based at the Municipal Building in Widnes. The contract serves the council’s area in Halton, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement rather than a construction, supply or facilities contract. It is relevant to consultancies with experience of public-sector consultation, housing or licensing policy, and the project management of statutory engagement programmes for local authorities.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Halton Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. ARC4 Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 24 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £56,100. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies project management consultancy services as the contracted category. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the available information records the selected supplier and contract outcome rather than a competitive scoring exercise.

This award demonstrates demand from Halton Borough Council for specialist consultancy supporting selective licensing consultations. A credible competitor for similar work would need to understand statutory consultation requirements and be able to plan, manage and evidence engagement with affected stakeholders. Relevant capability includes project management, consultation design and delivery, clear reporting, and the ability to work within a local authority’s policy and governance arrangements. Experience in housing, selective licensing or related regulatory consultation would help establish subject-matter credibility. The requirement is suited to a specialist consultancy able to provide a defined professional service for a council programme, coordinate activity across stakeholders and produce work that can withstand public-sector scrutiny.
