Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned employment and skills support consultancy services. The appointed organisation is expected to map the employment and skills support services available to Surrey residents, with the ultimate aim of producing a self-service directory for residents and service providers. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations that understand local employment support provision, can research and organise information from multiple providers, and can turn that information into a usable directory. The procurement is categorised as services, with the associated classification describing business and management consultancy services. Delivery is in Surrey, for the council’s public service purposes. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Reigate.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the complete employment support services requirement. Everything D&I Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £29,900 excluding VAT, or £35,880 including VAT. The contract is active. The award relates to consultancy services delivered in the United Kingdom and Surrey context. The available procurement information identifies the limited-competition route and the single-lot structure; it does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for employment and skills support mapping in Surrey: identifying provision, understanding how services relate to residents and providers, and presenting the results in a self-service directory. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer would need credible knowledge of employment and skills support services, the research capacity to map provision across a local area, and the analytical ability to structure findings for practical use. Experience in stakeholder engagement, service directories, information management and clear public-facing content would support credibility, provided it is directly relevant to this requirement. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the work was delivered at a scale accessible to a specialist smaller consultancy rather than only a large national provider.
