## Summary

The procurement process for the Hartlepool Borough Council's "Local Area Reform Plan" has entered the award stage as of 15th April 2026. The plan, aimed at supporting the co-production of reform initiatives, is categorised under education and training services and is urgent due to a completion deadline of 18th June 2026 for local authorities. This contract reflects a direct procurement method executed below the threshold without competition. Located in Hartlepool, UKC11 region, the project had been highlighted under sub-central government public authority classifications, with their supplier being the National Development Team for Inclusion. The contract period runs from 15th April 2026 to 14th July 2026, with a gross value of £11,880.

Business growth opportunities are evident for enterprises focused on education and training services, especially those with experience in developing reform plans for local authorities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity due to the nature of past collaborations between Hartlepool Borough Council and similar entities. This initiative encourages entries from suppliers experienced in co-production methodologies, enhancing general business help and guidance with the potential for additional work stemming from the Change Programme and Families First Transformation fundings.
