## Summary

City of Doncaster Council procured general management consultancy services to provide ongoing consultancy and development support. The work is intended to strengthen relational public services, embed learning and advance Transitional Safeguarding across partner organisations. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the council based in Doncaster. This is a public-sector transformation and organisational development requirement rather than a conventional recruitment, technology or construction contract. Relevant providers are consultancy businesses able to work with public services and multiple partners on service improvement, learning and safeguarding-related change. The requirement combines advisory input with practical development support, so suppliers would need to engage with stakeholders, help embed new approaches and support sustained improvement across organisations working together.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded on 11 September 2026 to REED SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED. The award value is £41,297 including the published currency, GBP. The contract runs from 27 October 2026 to 26 March 2027. The contract was awarded through the YPO Consultancy+ public framework. The procurement used an ‘Other’ method, and the tender was due to close on 9 September 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. This was a single service requirement, with no separate lots identified. The published outcome establishes the buyer’s route to market, the selected supplier and the short contract period for consultancy and development work supporting relational public services and Transitional Safeguarding.

For suppliers assessing future work from City of Doncaster Council, this award indicates demand for focused consultancy that combines strategic advice with hands-on development support. A credible competitor would need experience strengthening relational approaches in public services, working across organisational boundaries and turning learning into changes in practice. The requirement also points to the importance of Transitional Safeguarding knowledge and the ability to support partners collectively rather than deliver to one council team in isolation. Suppliers would be better placed with established methods for stakeholder engagement, facilitated learning, service improvement and embedding change. The buyer’s use of the YPO Consultancy+ framework shows that framework access and the ability to operate through a public-sector consultancy route are commercially relevant. The published suitability settings did not identify this requirement as aimed at SMEs or VCSEs.
