Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured consultancy services from best-interest assessors for social-work-related work. The requirement was for assessors to provide specialist consultancy in this area. The procurement was classified as health and social work services, specifically social work and related services. Delivery was in the East Midlands region of England. The selected supplier, Reed Talent Solutions Limited, is based in London. The council is the buying organisation for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Reed Talent Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £430,000. The procurement used a limited procedure as a call-off from the YPO 1141 Managing Consultancy and Professional Services framework, which the council described as having a single supplier. One bid was recorded. The process had one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active. The award records no award date or separate contract period. The stated award criterion was price.

For comparable future work with Leicestershire County Council, a credible supplier would need to provide consultancy services focused on best-interest assessment in a social work context. The route used here was a call-off from the YPO 1141 Managing Consultancy and Professional Services framework, and the council stated that it had only one supplier. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should therefore consider whether they can qualify for and supply through that framework, as well as demonstrate relevant assessor expertise and the capacity to deliver the council’s consultancy requirement. The award shows that the council selected a supplier through this route and recorded a single bid; price was the stated award criterion.
