## Summary

The Department for Education procured expert adviser services in Peterborough. The requirement falls within business and management consultancy and related services, covering advisory support rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The Department for Education is the buying organisation and Peterborough is the delivery location. The procurement was structured as a single requirement for an expert adviser. The published scope identifies the service as an expert adviser contract in Peterborough, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide suitably experienced consultancy and advisory support to a central government education client in that locality. The selected provider, Eolas Consultancy, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than a large corporate supplier.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Department for Education used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Eolas Consultancy was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £48,000 excluding VAT and £57,600 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the expert adviser service and the business and management consultancy classification. The procurement used one lot, which is complete. The available evaluation information establishes the direct-award route rather than a competitive scoring basis, so the key commercial reference points are the specialist advisory scope, the single-provider award and the contract’s defined delivery period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for focused expert advisory and business management consultancy support in Peterborough. A credible future competitor would need to show relevant advisory expertise, the ability to provide practical consultancy services for a public-sector education client, and sufficient capacity to deliver a defined assignment through to completion. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller specialist consultancy can meet this type of requirement. Businesses with a clear expert-adviser proposition, evidence of comparable consultancy delivery and the administrative capability to work with central government would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer. Local knowledge of Peterborough may also help where the work depends on place-specific relationships or delivery.
