Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council commissioned tailored leasing strategy support for Captain Cook Square in Middlesbrough. The service produces bespoke commercial information packs to help the Council and its site management agent attract a specific future tenant or target market. The work combines existing site information, artificial intelligence, local demographic data, brand-spend data and commercial information, processed through the supplier’s own modelling systems. Outputs are intended to give prospective international or other major brands confidence in the site and support targeted marketing. This is a consultancy and commercial information-modelling service, covering research, analysis and related business support. The requirement is focused on Captain Cook Square, with potential use of the resulting information across Middlesbrough.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. It consisted of one completed lot. CACI LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £28,450 excluding VAT and £34,140 including VAT. The contract is active. The Council’s rationale was time-limited funding, limited current interest in the site and the need for proactive work to attract new or specific tenants. The Council considered the supplier’s proprietary modelling systems and tailored commercial data approach particularly relevant to this requirement.

This opportunity indicates demand from Middlesbrough Council for specialist commercial intelligence that can turn site, demographic, brand-spend and market data into practical leasing material. A credible future supplier would need strong commercial information modelling, data analysis and local-market interpretation capabilities, together with the ability to create bespoke packs for named brands or clearly defined target markets. Proprietary modelling tools or systems that combine varied data sources into commercially focused outputs would be particularly relevant. Experience supporting public authorities, property owners or major retailers with tenant attraction and site marketing would strengthen a competitor’s position. Suppliers should be able to present evidence that their analysis gives prospective occupiers confidence and supports targeted leasing decisions.

Notice Title

RH021 - Tailored Leasing Strategy Support - Captain Cook Square

Notice Description

The awarded supplier are the leading market suppliers of tailored, bespoke, commercial information modelling companies. They use a combination of existing site information, AI, local demographic data and model it (through their own modelling systems) to provide bespoke commercially driven information packs for the client to use to attract either a specific future tenant or specific target market. Customers range from Environment Agency, Tesco to many local authorities nationally. They use a combination of tools - like brand spend data/along with demographic statistics and commercial information to churn our bespoke solutions. The idea is that this information would provide a future tenant with a pack of information, from an international brand, to provide confidence in the site. Whilst there are many local, national and regional information collection and analysis companies - there are none which are specifically comparable to the awarded supplier given they use their own created modelling systems to generate the data. Praxis (the Council's management agent for the site) had come across them on another site, and they were used for another authority to attract a specific tenant, which is where the suggestion was made. The Council has time limited funding for the site, with current interest being very limited - hence there is a dire need to pro-actively work towards attracting new /specific tenants for the site, which is where the awarded supplier would be imperative. Using the awarded supplier would provide a specific, commercial pack of information which the Council then can use to market and attract future new tenants to the site, and possibly across Middlesbrough.
