## Summary

Gedling Borough Council commissioned a small business advice service for the Greater Carlton Neighbourhood Board. The service supports businesses located solely within the Greater Carlton boundary of Gedling Borough. The work is business advice and consultancy, classified in the procurement as business analysis consultancy services. The buying organisation is Gedling Borough Council, based in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. Delivery is in the Greater Carlton area of Gedling Borough. This is a local business-support service rather than a borough-wide or general consultancy requirement: suppliers whose work focuses on advising small businesses in the specified neighbourhood are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to NBV Enterprise Solutions Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also active and signed. It was procured below the applicable threshold using a method recorded as below-threshold, with no further procedure detail. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend by one year if necessary or desirable, to a maximum end date of 30 September 2029. The contract value is £114,567 excluding VAT (£137,480.40 including VAT).

This award shows demand from Gedling Borough Council for targeted advice to small businesses within Greater Carlton, delivered for the Neighbourhood Board. A future competitor would need to provide practical small-business advisory support and understand the needs of businesses in this defined local area. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist provider can deliver this scale of service; the procurement does not indicate that only large consultancies are suited. The relevant capability is business advice and consultancy, rather than broad management consulting detached from local business support. Suppliers with experience helping small businesses and the capacity to deliver a neighbourhood-focused service are therefore best placed to compete when this requirement next comes to market.
