UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council plans to commission a consultancy team to review and refresh its existing PowerPark Vision, originally developed in 2020, and produce a new vision for 2026 and beyond. The work is a strategic consultancy service covering energy and related services, energy management, energy-efficiency advice, business analysis, advertising and design consultancy. It is intended to help shape the future direction and presentation of the PowerPark initiative. The buying organisation is East Suffolk Council, based in Woodbridge. The planned commission is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is structured as a single service requirement rather than separate lots.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a market-engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. East Suffolk Council expects to seek expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced consultants through a request for information. The council’s scheduled engagement response date is 4 September 2026 at 12 noon, and it expects a subsequent notice on 25 September 2026. The planned contract is expected to run from 20 November 2026 to 19 November 2027. The procurement has one lot and no financial value is published. The council is considering a consultancy services procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with the market engagement intended to inform the future procurement.

This will suit consultancy teams able to combine energy-sector knowledge with strategic vision development and practical business analysis. Relevant capability includes reviewing an established vision, assessing its future direction, translating analysis into a clear strategic document, and presenting or designing material for stakeholders. Experience in energy management and energy efficiency would be particularly relevant, alongside skills in consultation, communications, advertising or design where these support the finished vision. The council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced consultants, so businesses should be ready to demonstrate comparable assignments, an appropriately skilled multidisciplinary team and the capacity to deliver a substantial review and refreshed vision over the planned one-year contract period. SMEs are expressly considered suitable for the requirement.
