## Summary

Shropshire Council is currently inviting tenders for the provision of specialist consultancy support to deliver an Adult Social Care diagnostic review and transformation roadmap. This open procurement process, with a gross value of £150,000, is active from 9th July 2026 and will close on 3rd August 2026, with submissions to be made through the Delta eSourcing portal. The project, located in Shrewsbury within the West Midlands region (UKG22), falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services. The contract is set to begin on 1st September 2026 and end on 24th November 2026. During the planning phase, Shropshire Council seeks a provider to partner with in reviewing and prioritising transformation activities within adult social care services, focusing on improving outcomes, securing better value for money, and delivering sustainable savings. The initial planning highlighted a substantial financial envelope of £250,000, indicating a robust commitment to the review process.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those specialising in social care service transformation and cost optimisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable to compete, provided they have expertise in data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and delivering comprehensive service improvement plans. The successful bidder will have the chance to work closely with the council, providing critical insight and developing a detailed three-year transformation plan, which includes identifying inefficiencies and recommending improvements. Given the criteria of a 70% emphasis on quality and a 30% on price, firms that can demonstrate a methodology for rigorous and evidence-based analysis are likely to stand out, fostering business growth through high-profile public sector engagement and establishing a substantial case study in transformational consultancy.
