North Northamptonshire Council - Consultancy Service for Adult Social Care and Transformation

North Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for a consultancy service focused on Adult Social Care and Transformation, underscored by a contract awarded on 24th August 2024. This procedure, conducted via a mini-competition under the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework 664_21, sought an experienced supplier to assist the Council in achieving strategic ambitions, identifying savings, and driving efficiencies in health and social work services (CPV 85000000).

The project involved an in-depth diagnostic of the savings programme for 2024/25, with further transformations and savings planned for 2025/26 and beyond. The procurement method used was limited, in accordance with Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, ensuring no prior call for competition was necessary. The key location for these services is Kettering, within the UKF25 region.

The project supports business growth through extended engagement, development of strategic frameworks, and the delivery of measurable financial improvements, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like PEOPLETOO Limited, the successful awardee of this contract, demonstrating inherent suitability for entities aiming to leverage their consultancy capabilities within public sector transformations.
