## Summary

Nottingham City Council commissioned independent adults chair consultancy support for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). The consultant provides specialist advice based on experience of managing LGR and works alongside the existing Independent Chair role. The scope covers impartial strategic advice, professional expertise, support and constructive challenge for senior leaders, and assistance with planning, governance and delivery arrangements for Adults Services during the transition to subsequent arrangements arising from LGR. The consultant acts as a critical friend on LGR matters, aligning Adults Services improvement activity, governance, risks, dependencies and transition requirements with the wider LGR programme. They report progress, issues and recommendations to senior leaders as required. The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The service is classified as general management consultancy services under CPV 79411000.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Wyze Consulting Limited on 30 June 2026. Nottingham City Council used an open procedure below the threshold. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an awarded value of £80,000 including the stated GBP currency. Evaluation selected a supplier for the specialist consultancy requirement, with the procurement identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the tender is complete. This is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described lots, covering strategic, governance and transition support for Adults Services within the council’s LGR programme.

This award provides a clear example of Nottingham City Council’s demand for senior-level consultancy during complex local government restructuring, particularly where Adults Services must maintain improvement, governance and risk control through organisational change. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience of managing Local Government Reorganisation and advising public-sector leaders through transition. Relevant capability includes independent strategic judgement, the ability to act impartially as a critical friend, and strength in challenging senior decision-makers constructively. Suppliers should be able to connect service improvement activity with programme governance, dependencies, risks and delivery arrangements, then turn analysis into practical recommendations and progress reporting. The requirement was considered suitable for an SME, indicating that a specialist consultancy with focused LGR and Adults Services expertise could be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to this buyer.

## Notice
