## Summary

West Lancashire Borough Council is procuring business and management consultancy services for an independent review of Tawd Valley Developments Ltd (TVD), its wholly owned company. TVD was established in 2018 as a strategic development vehicle supporting the council’s ambitions for housing delivery, regeneration and economic growth. The appointed consultant team will carry out an independent, evidence-based strategic review of the company and provide the council, as sole shareholder, with information to support an informed decision about TVD’s future. The work is being delivered for the council in West Lancashire, with the buying organisation based in Ormskirk. The requirement is for services rather than construction, property development or direct housing delivery. The relevant business area is business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000).

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Enquiries were due by 1 September 2026 at 2:00pm, and tenders were due by 9 September 2026 at 2:00pm. Bids are submitted electronically through The Chest, using opportunity DN826557. There is one lot, with the contract scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 19 February 2027. The published estimated value is £0 gross (£0 excluding tax), in GBP. Evaluation is weighted 60% to quality and 40% to price. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. West Lancashire Borough Council is both the buyer and the organisation managing the procurement.

This opportunity suits consultancy firms or consultant teams experienced in independent strategic reviews of wholly owned public-sector companies and development vehicles. Relevant capability includes evidence gathering, analysis of commercial and organisational viability, assessment of strategic purpose, and preparation of clear advice for a public-sector shareholder making a decision about a company’s future. Experience connected with housing delivery, regeneration and economic growth is directly relevant to TVD’s role and the council’s objectives. Bidders should be able to deliver an objective, evidence-based review and present findings in a form that supports senior council decision-making. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller consultancies may be well placed to compete, either independently or by forming a team with complementary review, financial, property or governance expertise.
