Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council bought specialist consultancy to move its One Coventry Prevention Programme from discovery into design and implementation. The work covered developing a practical operating model, establishing measures for outcomes and benefits, supporting programme design and testing, and planning implementation across the Council. It was intended to use evidence, analysis and learning from the completed discovery phase to advance the Council’s preventative approach to service delivery. This is business analysis and programme-design consultancy, rather than delivery of frontline services. The work was for Coventry City Council and its programme across the Council. The procurement was structured as one lot, covering the full package of consultancy support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Impower Consulting Limited. Coventry City Council used a direct award through the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework, without a separate competition for this requirement. The award was dated 20 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. Its value is £365,000. The recorded contract status is active. The lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. The process records one bid for the lot. The stated award criterion was price. No contract start or end dates are recorded, so the duration cannot be established from the published details. The award was made under the framework, whose establishment is stated to have followed the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

For consultancy firms, this award shows Coventry City Council’s demand for support that connects preventative-service strategy to practical programme delivery. A credible competitor would need to turn discovery evidence into an implementable operating model, define measurable outcomes and benefits, and support programme design, testing and implementation planning across a council. The work calls for strength in public-sector business analysis and programme design, with the ability to work across service areas and translate analysis into deliverable change. Experience with preventative approaches to local-authority service delivery and with measuring outcomes would be directly relevant. The council used an established consultancy framework and selected on price for this award, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need both relevant specialist capability and a competitive commercial offer through the applicable framework route.
