## Summary

The public procurement process for the consultancy service entitled "Skills Sprint" was initiated by Nottinghamshire County Council, located in Nottingham, England. This procurement, categorised under Business development consultancy services, aims to support the growth of the Green Industries and Advanced Manufacturing sectors by assessing future skills requirements and current baseline activities. The procurement method used was a direct award to Reed Talent Solutions Ltd (trading as Consultancy+), with the contract running from 11th October 2024 to 31st March 2025. The total contract value is £155,000, and key dates include the award date of 7th October 2024 and the start date of 11th October 2024.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy, particularly those with expertise in business development and skills analysis within the advanced manufacturing and green industries.
