## Summary

Tees Valley Combined Authority commissioned a single-supplier research service to map the workforce associated with clean energy projects. The work is intended to provide a picture of workforce needs across clean energy projects in the Tees Valley. The procurement is classified as a services contract; its associated mapping work covers urban and rural areas. The stated delivery area is the North East of England. This is relevant to research, workforce-planning and mapping consultancies with experience analysing labour demand in the clean energy sector and producing geographic evidence for public-sector decision-making.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Little Lion Research Ltd, which also signed the contract. The award was made on 18 October 2026; the contract was signed on 26 October 2026 and runs from 28 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). There was one lot. Tees Valley Combined Authority used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers did not compete through an open tender. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or participation criteria for this award.

This award shows that Tees Valley Combined Authority has commissioned a focused piece of clean-energy workforce research, combining project-level workforce mapping with coverage of urban and rural areas. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate robust research and mapping methods, the ability to identify workforce requirements across clean energy projects, and capacity to deliver useful evidence within a short, defined assignment. Familiarity with the Tees Valley and its energy-project landscape would help a supplier produce relevant local analysis. The buyer used a direct award rather than a competitive process for this contract; businesses should therefore view the award as evidence of the buyer’s requirement and approach in this instance, not as an invitation to compete for this contract.
