UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council appointed a part-time project manager to provide consultative engineering and construction services. The requirement concerns project management support connected with construction activity, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works themselves. The work is categorised under CPV 71310000, covering consultative engineering and construction services. Delivery is within the North West of England, with St Helens Council as the public-sector buyer. The selected provider is Gosling Consulting Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Chorley. The appointment was made for one lot and relates to the council’s need for part-time project management capability in its construction and engineering context.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. St Helens Council used a direct award through the RISE Construction Framework, below the applicable threshold and without competition. Gosling Consulting Limited received the award on 24 June 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 24 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its gross value is £189,305. The award covers one completed lot and is for services. The evaluation basis was therefore the framework direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The awarded supplier is Gosling Consulting Limited, and the contract remains active for the stated period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from St Helens Council for part-time project management within construction and engineering services. A credible future competitor would need to show practical experience managing construction-related projects and coordinating engineering or construction consultancy activity for a public authority. The requirement is suited to a specialist SME with the capacity to provide an experienced project manager on a part-time basis, rather than a contractor focused only on physical delivery. Relevant businesses would also benefit from understanding the RISE Construction Framework route and its requirements, since this award was made through that framework without competition. Evidence of dependable project governance, client coordination and delivery in a council or similar public-sector environment would strengthen a comparable proposition when this type of requirement returns.
