## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council commissioned consultancy to develop a regeneration framework for the Trent sports cluster area. The work concerns business and management consultancy, with an environmental consultancy classification also attached. The framework is intended to guide regeneration in the sports cluster area; the stated scope is producing the framework, rather than delivering construction or regeneration works. The delivery location is identified only as England, while the buyer is based in Nottingham. The procurement was awarded through ESPO 664-25. This is relevant to consultancies with experience shaping area-based regeneration strategies and bringing together relevant economic, planning and environmental considerations for a public-sector client.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Gleeds Cost Management Ltd on 18 May 2026. The awarded value is £210,218.80. The contract period runs from 25 May 2026 to 24 May 2027. The estimated procurement range was £210,000 to £230,000. The requirement was run using a restricted procedure through ESPO 664-25, rather than as an unrestricted open competition. Nottinghamshire County Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The stated submission deadline was 11 May 2026. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting or specific award criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described further.

For consultancies tracking future regeneration-framework requirements from Nottinghamshire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for strategic consultancy focused on a defined sports cluster area. A credible competitor would need to show that it can develop a practical, place-based regeneration framework for a public-sector client, supported by relevant business, management and environmental expertise. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, but the buyer marked the procurement as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms may also be relevant competitors. The route was a restricted procedure through ESPO 664-25, so familiarity with competing through that route would be commercially useful. The work is framework development rather than direct delivery of building or infrastructure projects; firms whose offer is limited to construction delivery may therefore be less closely matched.
