## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has completed a procurement process for the delivery of a third-party solution to handle low-value expenditures of up to £100,000 per annum. This pilot project aims to assess the benefits of engaging a third party for small-scale procurement tasks. The contract, under the industry category of procurement consultancy services, has been awarded to NOMIA, and the pilot is set to last six months with a possible extension to twelve months if necessary. Key locations involved in this process include Middlesbrough in the UKC12 region.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses offering procurement consultancy services to showcase their efficiency and effectiveness in managing low-value procurements. Companies that are agile, cost-effective, and capable of delivering measurable savings within the constraints of smaller contracts would be particularly well-suited for such opportunities. The use of a limited procurement method without prior publication highlights the Council's intent to streamline this pilot phase and quickly assess the feasibility of expanding such engagements.
