Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council procured professional business consultancy services through a project focused on procurement savings and transformation. The work covers identifying short- and medium-term savings and supporting changes to the council’s procurement practices. Constellia Limited was appointed to deliver the service and will subcontract work to Efficio, which will identify the savings opportunities and assist with procurement transformation. The service is for Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council and activity is delivered in the Stockton-on-Tees area. The procurement falls within the broad business and management consultancy category, covering services such as consulting, legal, marketing, recruitment, printing and security. It was arranged as a single completed requirement rather than separate service lots.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council used a selective further competition under the NEPRO Innovation Framework, using a below-threshold framework award route. The competition was competitive. Constellia Limited received the award, with Efficio named as its subcontractor. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £77,188 excluding VAT, or £92,625.60 including VAT. The contract is active and the awarded requirement is a single lot. The published information records the successful supplier and contract outcome, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting.

This award indicates demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for specialist procurement consultancy that can produce identifiable short- and medium-term savings while helping to change procurement processes. A credible future competitor would need experience in procurement savings, spend or commercial analysis, and practical procurement transformation, with the capacity to work with a public-sector council and turn recommendations into deliverable improvements. The requirement also shows that suppliers able to combine these capabilities with a structured delivery model may be well placed: Constellia led the award while Efficio provided the savings and transformation support as subcontractor. Businesses considering similar work should therefore be able to demonstrate relevant consultancy expertise, public-sector understanding, analytical capability and suitable subcontracting or partnership arrangements.
