Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council is seeking consultancy services to develop an investment strategy for Clackmannanshire. The appointed supplier will produce a detailed scope and implementation plan for a strategy intended to position the area as a leading destination for investment. The work covers investment strategy development, economic and market analysis, planning and implementation advice, and related technical consultancy. Delivery is in Clackmannanshire, with the council based in Alloa. This is a public-sector services opportunity for consultancies able to combine strategic economic development with practical plans for attracting and supporting investment. The requirement also includes community benefits, such as knowledge transfer, local supply-chain opportunities, mentoring or training for third-sector organisations, and responding to community priorities.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids are scheduled to open at the same time, and the evaluation period starts then. The contract period is 180 days. There is one lot covering the investment strategy consultancy, with no variants or renewals. Bids must be submitted in English, and bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Community-benefit commitments form part of the requirement.

This opportunity suits economic development, investment promotion and management consultancy firms that can research an area’s investment potential, develop a clear strategy and turn it into an implementable programme. Strong candidates will be able to produce structured scopes of work, practical delivery plans and evidence-based advice for a local authority. The requirement is also relevant to multidisciplinary teams combining strategy, economic analysis, planning and investment expertise. Suppliers should have suitably qualified staff whose names and professional qualifications can be submitted with the bid, and the capacity to complete the assignment within the required delivery period. Firms able to offer knowledge transfer, mentoring, third-sector training or local SME supply-chain opportunities will be better aligned with the community-benefit expectations.
