Decision Approved
The Leader of the Council, in consultation with the
Cabinet Member for Health & Social Care:
1. Accepted the award of contract to Constellia
Public Ltd for the Statement of Works with SRG
Management Services Ltd on a direct award basis,
for the provision of Project Management Services
to the London Borough of Hillingdon, starting 07
April 2025 and completing on 06 October 2025 and
at a maximum cost of £54,000; and
2. Delegated approval of any variation or extension to
the Corporate Director of Adult Social Care and
Health.
Reason for decision 1. Constellia are the Council’s preferred partner for
professional services where there is a need for
additional interim specialist resource to support
project related activity. This route to appoint is used
where other HR off payroll routes to award are not
deemed viable or suitable by the commissioning
manager. The requirements of the consultant are
defined in a Statement of Works and payment is

made against successful completion of that
statement of works.
2. The provision of the consultancy contract is necessary
to ensure the successful completion of the acquisition of
The Burroughs Care Home, establish the Teckal
Special Purchase Vehicle (SPV) – The Hillingdon Care
Company and support the engagement of an
independent care home operator, to ensure that the
care home is managed effectively, including operational
due diligence and preparation for providing nursing
care. SRG Management Services Ltd has
demonstrated expertise in these areas and has
provided valuable consultancy services to the Council.
Alternative options
considered and
rejected
1. Not awarding the contract and seeking a new
consultancy provider. However, this would result in
delays and potential additional costs.
2. Appointing through another route – e.g. Matrix
Key risks associated with the recommendation include
potential delays in project completion and increased costs.
These risks will be mitigated through close monitoring and
management of the consultancy services.
