## Summary

Leicestershire County Council commissioned consultancy support for setting up governance arrangements for its local government reorganisation programme. The work is described as non-abortive: it is intended to establish arrangements that can be used for local government reorganisation or other cross-Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland programmes, rather than support the main reorganisation programme itself. The requirement is business analysis and governance consultancy. The council is based in Leicester; the work concerns the council’s programme and cross-area governance, rather than a specified delivery site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to NEWTRALITY LTD. It was awarded by direct procurement below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October to 31 December 2026. Its value is £12,000 excluding VAT (£14,400 including VAT). The procurement has one lot, covering governance support. The published contract information does not state an award date or evaluation criteria.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need consultancy capability in designing and establishing governance arrangements, with business analysis skills to shape arrangements that can serve more than one programme. Experience of local government reorganisation or coordinating cross-area programmes would be relevant to understanding the intended use. The awarded contract shows that the council bought a focused, short-term piece of support through a direct, below-threshold route, rather than consultancy for the main reorganisation programme. NEWTRALITY LTD, the selected supplier, is identified as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise.

## Notice

LGR Advice and Support for Governance. The LGR process has been paused by central government. In the meantime, we are continuing to undertake non-abortive work concerning setting up the governance of the programme, in such a way that it can be utilised for LGR or other cross-LLR programmes. This is a separate contract with a consultancy to provide this support, rather than support the main LGR programme.
