## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Cleveland has concluded its procurement process by awarding a contract for an "Employee Listening Partner" as of 20th July 2026. This initiative falls within the business and management consultancy services category, with the service expected to commence on 1st August 2026 and run until 31st July 2030. The procurement was conducted using a "Below Threshold Direct Award" method, indicating a more streamlined process without competitive bidding due to specific conditions or needs. The contract is valued at £112,000 and will be executed in the North East of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity mainly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like the awarded supplier, Mi-Say Limited, to provide consultancy services in creating a responsive workplace environment. The contract's initial 12-month period, with options for three additional annual extensions, offers long-term engagement possibilities. Businesses experienced in strategic human resource management and possessing regional familiarity, particularly those focused on employee engagement and consultancy services, stand to benefit significantly from opportunities of this nature.
