## Summary

Suffolk County Council has successfully completed a procurement process to secure consultancy services in support of its children's Family First change programme. The contract, valued at £483,648, was awarded to Impower Consulting Ltd. This consultancy service falls under the Business and Management Consultancy industry category and was part of a selective tendering process using the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract period running from 27th October 2025 to 30th April 2026, primarily servicing the Ipswich area, postcode IP1 2BX.

This tender creates potential opportunities for businesses specializing in consultancy services, especially those experienced in health and social work sectors, despite being a closed opportunity as the contract has already been awarded. Although the procurement method was selective through a call-off from a framework agreement, businesses seeking similar opportunities can focus on frameworks to increase their chances for future contracts. Large-scale consultancy firms like Impower Consulting Ltd would find such opportunities well-matched given the requirements and scale of the contract.
