Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) procured a Microsoft Copilot enablement programme, delivered as IT consulting and support services. The work is intended to help the organisation adopt and use Microsoft Copilot effectively. Activities are prioritised jointly during the engagement and may cover user adoption, communications, leadership engagement, business value assessment, rollout planning, AI Activator capability building and programme governance. Delivery may support CPS operations across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a service requirement suited to organisations providing Microsoft Copilot adoption, artificial intelligence transformation, change management and programme delivery support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 July 2026 to PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP. The award value is £354,000, and the contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 January 2027. CPS used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier has an active award for the full requirement. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the contract covering the enablement programme and its jointly prioritised activities rather than a separately itemised set of lots.

This award demonstrates demand from CPS for structured Microsoft Copilot adoption rather than software supply alone. A credible future supplier would need to combine Microsoft Copilot expertise with organisational change, communications, leadership engagement and practical rollout planning. It would also need to assess business value, build AI Activator capability and provide programme governance across a potentially dispersed international delivery footprint. The requirement is suitable for smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a specialist consultancy or delivery partner could compete if it can show the relevant technical capability, programme controls and experience supporting users through artificial intelligence adoption. Suppliers should be able to prioritise activities jointly with CPS and adapt delivery to changing organisational needs.
