Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in the United Kingdom has completed the procurement process for "Horsefly Analytics," a consultancy service for human resources management classified under CPV code 79414000. The procurement, conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, reached the award stage with AI Recruitment Technologies Limited named as the supplier. The contract, valued at £55,000, commenced on 1st April 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026. The procurement encompassed a wide delivery range including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, with the tender period concluding on 31st March 2025.

This contract represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specializing in human resources management consultancy to engage with DEFRA and enhance their market presence across targeted regions. The procurement may particularly appeal to established firms capable of thriving within a selective framework process, given the substantial organisational scope and delivery areas defined. While the suitability criteria indicated a focus beyond SMEs and VCSEs, larger consultancies equipped to handle projects with governmental bodies and international reach could benefit significantly from such partnerships.
