## Summary

Northumberland County Council, on behalf of the Borderlands Partnership, has concluded the award stage for the "Borderland Energy Programme Business Case Support" procurement process. The project, classified under the business and management consultancy services industry category, involves developing a standard economic model for 13 prioritised energy projects, along with providing business case support. The contract, which was awarded to GC INSIGHT LIMITED, a large company, is valued at £424,655 and spans from 8th June 2026 to 7th June 2028. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and is located in the North East of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in economic modelling and business case development. Although the contract was awarded to a large enterprise, the industry focus and type of service required align well with medium-sized businesses in similar consultancy domains. Companies with a strategic interest in public sector energy initiatives and strong project management capabilities could position themselves favourably for similar future opportunities. Engaging in tenders like this can provide substantial growth potential through involvement in complex, high-value projects.

## Notice

Northumberland County Council on behalf of the Borderlands Partnership is seeking a suitable supplier to develop a standard economic model to be used across the 13 prioritised energy projects. The successful consultancy will then use the agreed model to write the economic case and provide general business case support to the 13 prioritised energy projects.
