## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council is buying independent technical consultancy for Mansfield District Council and the Mansfield Place Board to develop and deliver the Plan for Neighbourhoods, now called the Pride in Place Programme. The work includes preparing a regeneration plan aligned with government guidance, local priorities and the Make it in Mansfield strategy; programme management, governance and reporting; stakeholder engagement; business case and project development; financial management and technical assurance. The consultant also supports budget monitoring, evaluation services and project and Place Board meetings. The purpose is to strengthen programme oversight and ensure proposed regeneration projects are robust, deliverable and compliant with funding requirements, helping maximise investment across eligible Mansfield neighbourhoods. This is business development and regeneration consultancy, delivered in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Nottinghamshire County Council selected Reed Specialist Recruitment trading as Consultancy+. The award was made on 31 July 2026, at £59,997.60. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement used a method described as “Other”; the published details do not identify a more specific procedure or explain how bids were evaluated. The requirement was presented as a single consultancy service, with no lot-level awards. The tender closing date was 31 July 2026. The requirement was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For firms competing when this council’s Mansfield regeneration consultancy requirement returns, the award shows demand for an integrated advisory service rather than a single technical task. A credible supplier needs to combine regeneration planning with programme management, governance and reporting, stakeholder engagement, business-case and project development, financial oversight and technical assurance. Experience aligning plans with government guidance and local strategies, and demonstrating that projects are deliverable and meet funding conditions, is directly relevant. The work also calls for practical capacity to monitor budgets, support independent assessment and evaluation, and contribute to project and Place Board meetings. Suppliers should be able to support a local authority and place-based board across a programme, from planning through delivery, and show they can coordinate these disciplines within one consultancy engagement. The awarded supplier is a large recruitment and consultancy business.
