## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council procured business and management consultancy to support its Connected Outcomes Workstream. The assignment covers a diagnostic assessment of current practice, including variation and cost drivers; identification of priority cohorts and pathways; and design of a future-state decision-making model. The appointed adviser is also expected to develop tools, frameworks and practice guidance, support implementation through pilots and rollout, engage the workforce and build capability, and track and report benefits realisation. The work is intended to provide the support and expertise needed to deliver this transformation and improvement programme. Delivery is associated with Hertfordshire, in the East of England. The service is classified under CPV 79400000, covering business and management consultancy and related services.

This procurement has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using a direct award via the Bloom NEPRO 3 Framework. The single lot was recorded as cancelled, but the award is active and was made to Newton Consulting Limited. One bid was recorded. The stated award criterion was price. The contract value is £955,500. The award and contract are dated 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract is active. The procurement falls outside the scope of the relevant directive under the stated rationale and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract end date or duration is stated in the procurement outcome.

This requirement shows Hertfordshire County Council’s demand for substantial transformation consultancy focused on improving connected outcomes and decision-making. A credible future supplier would need diagnostic and analytical capability to examine variation, cost drivers, cohorts and pathways, then translate findings into a practical operating model. It would also need experience designing tools, frameworks and guidance, and the delivery capacity to support pilots, wider rollout and implementation rather than stopping at strategy. Workforce engagement, capability building and benefits realisation reporting are central parts of the requirement, so relevant change-management, facilitation, performance-measurement and reporting skills would be important. The award route indicates that suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer may need access to an appropriate public-sector consultancy framework and the ability to compete on price.
