UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Brentwood Borough Council is procuring data protection services for Brentwood and Rochford District Council. The requirement includes statutory Data Protection Officer functions and related data protection support for both councils. This is a professional information, compliance and legal advisory service rather than a goods supply or works contract. The service is delivered for the councils in the United Kingdom, covering Brentwood and Rochford. The procurement is led by Brentwood Borough Council, with Rochford District Council also identified as a buyer. The requirement is classified under legal advisory and information services, making it relevant to data protection consultancies, specialist privacy practices and professional services firms able to act as an outsourced Data Protection Officer for public authorities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award date was 28 July 2026. EVALIAN LIMITED was selected for the Data Protection Services requirement. The award value is £52,600 excluding VAT, or £63,120 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 1 March 2027. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the data protection services for Brentwood and Rochford. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 20 August 2026. The evaluation basis was the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for outsourced data protection leadership across two local authorities, combining statutory Data Protection Officer responsibilities with wider data protection services. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in UK data protection law, public-sector compliance and the practical operation of a Data Protection Officer function. Credibility would be strengthened by experience advising councils or other public bodies, handling regulatory accountability, maintaining records and policies, supporting information-rights compliance, and providing clear advice to staff and senior officers. A small specialist consultancy can be suitable: the appointed supplier is recorded as an SME. Firms would also need capacity to support two councils under one service arrangement and to deliver consistent advice across both organisations.
