## Summary

Lancashire County Council procured business and management consultancy support for local government reorganisation. The requirement is described as NEPRO 3 Local Government Reorganisation Support; the work falls within consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). The service is associated with Lancashire County Council, based in Preston, and delivery is stated to be in the North West of England. This is a professional services requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, focused specifically on supporting local government reorganisation. The procurement was made through the NEPRO 3 framework route, with Bloom Procurement Services Ltd selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd on 17 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £157,500. The contract period runs from 21 August to 2 November 2026. Lancashire County Council used a direct award from a third-party framework, rather than running a separate open competition. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026. The stated procurement value and award value are both £157,500. The requirement is presented as a single service, with no lots identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The award data identifies the selected supplier but does not state a separate evaluation formula or criteria.

This award shows Lancashire County Council buying a focused, short-duration consultancy service to support local government reorganisation, using the NEPRO 3 framework’s direct-award route. Consultancy firms with practical local-government reorganisation expertise, and the ability to provide targeted support to a council in the North West, are the closest fit when a comparable requirement returns. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller consultancies may be credible competitors where they can demonstrate relevant public-sector experience and deploy the required expertise at this scale. Bloom Procurement Services Ltd was selected, providing evidence that a framework supplier could deliver the requirement. Businesses seeking similar work should assess their framework access and demonstrate a clear match to local government reorganisation support, rather than general management consultancy alone.
