Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, headquartered in London, has successfully completed the award stage of its "Portfolio Breakthrough Delivery Partner" procurement process, valued at £1.3 million. The tender, classified under the "Financial consultancy services" (CPV code 66171000), was part of the Ministry’s significant reform, aiming to enhance Defence acquisition through a portfolio-based approach. This selective procurement was executed as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract set to run from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2026. The awarded supplier is Deloitte LLP, a large-scale firm also based in London.

This tender signals substantial business growth opportunities for large consultancy firms specialising in strategic defence and financial consultancy services. Companies with capabilities to deliver integrated and expedited solutions to enhance national defence initiatives could find this environment particularly advantageous. While the procurement process was selective, businesses with a proven track record in delivering high-value, transformative services for governmental reforms could leverage similar opportunities in future tenders issued by the Ministry of Defence. As such, participating in frameworks and maintaining a robust network with governmental bodies would be strategic for similar companies aiming to expand in this sector.
