## Summary

Bristol City Council has concluded a procurement process for the "Families First Strategic Delivery Partner" contract, which falls under the industry category of Business and management consultancy and related services. The location for this initiative is within the UKK11 region. The procurement process was completed on 30 June 2025, with the contract formally signed with Newton Consulting Ltd. The contract, valued at £7,198,523, was awarded through a limited procurement method, bypassing a prior publication of a call for competition, and was facilitated through the Crown Commercial Service MCF 3 RM6187 framework, ensuring compliance with relevant legal standards.

Businesses aiming to expand in public sector contracts will find this type of procurement process advantageous, specifically if they possess the capacity to deliver substantial projects within the social protection domain.
