Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is commissioning consultancy services to develop a Full Business Case for its Health on the High Street programme. The work will support the council’s future investment and funding decisions, requiring analysis of the programme’s business case and its economic and development implications. The requirement covers business development consultancy, business analysis, development consultancy, economic research and economic impact assessment services. It is a public-sector professional services opportunity led by the council for the Health on the High Street programme in Barnsley. Suppliers with relevant business-case, economic research and impact-assessment expertise should find the scope relevant, particularly those able to connect analysis with public investment decisions.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single lot, with tenders evaluated 60% on quality and 40% on price. Questions could be submitted until 2 October 2026 at 11:00, and offers were due by 9 October 2026 at 11:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 March 2027. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. Electronic submission was allowed, using the council’s online tendering route. The opportunity is reserved for eligible SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises based in South Yorkshire.

This opportunity suits a consultancy with demonstrable capability in developing Full Business Cases for public-sector programmes and informing investment or funding decisions. Relevant strengths include business analysis, economic research, economic impact assessment, business development advice and development consultancy. Bidders should be able to produce a credible, decision-ready case that brings these disciplines together for the Health on the High Street programme. The quality-led evaluation means the proposed approach and evidence of capability carry greater weight than price alone. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises located in South Yorkshire, making it particularly relevant to established local specialists or qualifying organisations with suitable analytical and consultancy experience.
