## Summary

Suffolk County Council has engaged Impower Consulting Ltd to provide consultancy services as part of its Family First change programme for children. This process, starting on 28th May and concluding on 31st October 2026, amounts to £300,020. The procurement centres around business and management consultancy services, classified under CPV 79400000, and is located in Ipswich, England (postcode IP1 2BX). The procurement stage is currently at the award stage, with the contract having been awarded on 9th June 2026, following a selective procurement method within the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework.

This contract offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the consultancy sector, particularly those proficient in supporting change programmes within the public sector. Larger consultancies with experience in managing and delivering complex projects in health and social work services, as indicated by the additional classification under CPV 85000000, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. Providing the expertise required by Suffolk County Council could bolster a firm's portfolio in the realm of public sector consultancy and pave the way for further engagements in similar initiatives.
