UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Councils commissioned consultancy for a research deep dive into technology used by London boroughs. The work covers commodity discovery and is categorised as research and development consultancy and market research services. It is a service requirement for London Councils, a public authority representing London’s councils, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement relates specifically to understanding technology used across London boroughs, so it is relevant to consultancies that investigate public-sector technology markets, suppliers, products or service needs. The procurement was structured as one lot. The selected supplier, Made With Insight Ltd, is based in Whitley Bay and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. London Councils is the buying organisation for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Made With Insight Ltd. The award was made on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £43,200 excluding VAT, or £51,840 including VAT. London Councils used a below-threshold limited competition, rather than an open procedure. The procurement covered one lot, which was completed through the award. The contract is recorded as active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the requirement was evaluated through this limited competition route. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded for the procurement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from London Councils for specialist insight into technology used by London boroughs, combining commodity discovery with research and market analysis. Competitors preparing for a similar requirement would need to show that they can investigate technology across local government, identify relevant products or suppliers, and turn research into useful findings for a public-sector buyer. Experience in market research, research and development consultancy, or technology discovery would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also benefit from understanding how London boroughs procure and use technology, since the work concerns borough-level systems rather than a general commercial technology market. The award to an SME indicates that a focused consultancy can deliver this type of requirement without being a large national provider.
