UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council commissioned an employment study report described as the HEDNA Employment Study. The work is a consultancy service, classified under business services, and relates to employment analysis; the procurement does not give further detail on the study’s scope or intended outputs. The named delivery location is the United Kingdom, without a more specific place identified. This is a single-lot requirement for a report, rather than a procurement of physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ICENI Projects Limited. The council used a selective route, making the award under a framework and below the relevant threshold; the call-off was not competitive. The evaluation criteria are not stated. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026, with a period running from that date to 31 December 2026 and a maximum extent to 31 January 2027. The contract value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). Lichfield District Council has discretion to renew the contract. The procurement comprised one lot, awarded to the same supplier.

For consultancies considering similar employment-study work for Lichfield District Council, this award demonstrates demand for a HEDNA employment study report at a modest consultancy scale. A credible competitor would need to show it can deliver relevant employment analysis and produce a report that meets the council’s requirements. The selected supplier is a consultancy, but the procurement data does not describe the specific expertise, methods, accreditations, staffing or experience that secured the award; these cannot be treated as stated conditions for competing. The council used a framework route and made this call-off without competition, so suppliers’ ability to participate in the relevant framework route is commercially important for comparable work.
