UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Slough Borough Council procured transformation consultancy for regeneration, housing and environmental work. The requirement is business analysis consultancy supporting the council’s regeneration programme and related housing and environment activity. It is a professional services contract, delivered for the council in Slough and the wider United Kingdom location recorded for the service. The selected supplier, Populate Consulting Ltd, is a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. Businesses with experience in advising public authorities on regeneration programmes, housing transformation, environmental services or organisational change would recognise this as the relevant market. The requirement concerns consultancy and analysis rather than construction, property development, routine maintenance or the direct provision of housing and environmental assets.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Populate Consulting Ltd. Slough Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its gross value is £195,838. One lot was completed and awarded, covering the transformation consultancy for regeneration, housing and environment. The published outcome identifies Populate Consulting Ltd as the active supplier. The available procurement route means the requirement was not evaluated through a competitive tender; the recorded outcome is a direct award. The contract remains active for its stated period.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Slough Borough Council for specialist transformation and business analysis consultancy connected with regeneration, housing and environmental responsibilities. Competitors seeking similar work with the council would need to show that they can analyse complex public-sector services, support regeneration-related change and turn findings into practical transformation activity. Relevant experience would include working with councils or comparable public bodies, understanding the relationship between housing, place-making and environmental priorities, and providing senior consultancy advice across connected workstreams. The selected supplier’s SME status also indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large professional-services firm.
