## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned communications and engagement delivery for the ResilienTogether project. The requirement is a professional services contract supporting the project’s communications and stakeholder engagement activity, with the procurement classified under environmental issues consultancy services (CPV 90713000). The contracting authority is Central Bedfordshire Council, a sub-central public authority based in Shefford. The work is connected to the council’s ResilienTogether project and is therefore relevant to organisations that deliver public-sector communications, engagement and consultation services, particularly where these services support environmental, resilience or related public programmes. The selected supplier, 3KQ, is a large organisation based in Kendal.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to 3KQ. Central Bedfordshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the legal basis identified as 2023/54. One lot was completed and the award is active. The award date and contract signing date were 29 July 2026. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 18 December 2026, with an optional extension available until 31 March 2027. Its value is £31,200 excluding VAT, or £37,440 including VAT. The contract is active and the procurement is classified as below threshold. The outcome indicates that the council selected a single supplier for the communications and engagement delivery requirement.

This award provides a clear indication of Central Bedfordshire Council’s demand for specialist communications and engagement support within a resilience-focused public project. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to plan and deliver communications activity, engage stakeholders effectively, and work within a council-led environmental or resilience programme. The requirement is most relevant to established communications consultancies, public engagement specialists and environmental consultancy providers with the ability to combine technical subject knowledge with clear messaging and stakeholder management. The selected supplier’s scale also suggests that the council accepted a provider able to take responsibility for an end-to-end delivery brief, rather than a narrowly defined communications task. Firms monitoring this buyer should track comparable requirements and be ready to demonstrate relevant public-sector delivery experience.
