## Summary

East Surrey Council commissioned consultancy to develop a framework and roadmap for community-led neighbourhood governance in East Surrey. The work is intended to help the council establish an approach to neighbourhood governance led by local communities. Elmbridge Borough Council managed the procurement on East Surrey Council’s behalf. The requirement is for government-support and general management consultancy services. The awarded work is delivered in East Surrey, England. It is a single requirement rather than a set of separately described work packages, covering development of the governance framework and the roadmap for putting it into practice.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to New Local Ltd on 12 October 2026. The award value is £36,143 excluding VAT (£43,372 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 4 January 2027. East Surrey Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with six bids received for the single lot. The published process information does not describe the evaluation criteria or the supplier’s specific qualifications, so the award outcome is the available indication of how the competition concluded.

This award demonstrates demand from East Surrey Council for specialist consultancy on community-led neighbourhood governance, rather than general public-sector consultancy alone. A credible competitor would need experience helping councils design governance arrangements that give neighbourhoods a meaningful role, and the ability to turn that design into a clear, practical roadmap. The work is focused and time-limited, so suppliers need to deliver a defined strategic output within a short engagement, rather than provide an ongoing service. Six suppliers competed, including six small and medium-sized enterprises at the final stage, indicating that this requirement attracted smaller consultancies as well as any larger firms. Elmbridge Borough Council managed the competition for East Surrey Council, so familiarity with council-led commissioning and local governance contexts would be relevant when this buyer next needs comparable support.
