UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council procured consultancy services for adult social care financial forecasting. The work involves developing a data-driven, forward-looking predictive model to support the council’s financial forecasting capability for Adult Social Care. It is primarily data analysis and modelling consultancy, requiring a supplier able to understand social care finance, work with public-sector data and turn analysis into a practical forecasting capability. Delivery is for Lancashire County Council in Lancashire, within the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as one complete package rather than being divided into multiple competing lots. The council is a sub-central public authority, so suppliers with experience of working directly with local government and handling complex service and financial data would be particularly relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to INFO INSIGHT LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £85,000 excluding VAT, or £100,000 including VAT. The minimum spend is £45,000 excluding VAT, with further consultancy services available up to the total contract value. The award covers the single Adult Social Care Predictive Modelling requirement and is recorded as active. The evaluation route was therefore a non-competitive below-threshold award rather than an open tender, selective process or multi-supplier competition.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates Lancashire County Council’s demand for specialist consultancy combining adult social care knowledge, financial forecasting and data analysis. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show that it can design and develop predictive models rather than provide generic reporting alone. Relevant capability includes integrating and analysing public-sector service and financial data, producing forward-looking forecasts, explaining model outputs to council stakeholders and translating technical work into a usable forecasting capability. Evidence of successful local-government or adult social-care analytics projects would strengthen a future proposition, as would an established consultancy team able to deliver modelling, financial insight and implementation support as one coherent service.
