Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Government Investments Limited commissioned business and management consultancy services. The requirement is described only at a broad consultancy level, with no specific project, subject area or deliverables identified. The buyer is UK Government Investments Limited, based in London, and the listed delivery location is central London. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or works. The award shows that the organisation bought external consultancy support through a framework call-off, giving relevant consultancies a concrete example of the type of advisory work it sources. The recorded procurement category is services; in practical terms, the relevant market is firms able to provide business or management consultancy to a UK government-owned investment organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers. The award was made on 22 September 2026 for £63,000, and the contract period runs from 29 September to 31 October 2026. The estimated procurement value was also £63,000. The buyer used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 15 September 2026. There was one described consultancy requirement, with no division into lots. The process records no specific eligibility conditions or evaluation criteria beyond the framework call-off route. The tender marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expected suppliers able to compete through the relevant framework rather than those categories of organisation.

For consultancies that did not win, this award is evidence that UK Government Investments Limited has bought business and management consultancy through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need access to the appropriate framework and the ability to deliver consultancy for a government investment organisation. The contract was a short, defined piece of external professional services work, so suppliers should be equipped to mobilise specialist advice and deliver within a tightly bounded engagement. The buyer’s stated unsuitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises suggests that the requirement was positioned for larger or otherwise framework-qualified providers. The published scope does not identify a technical specialism, accreditation or detailed capability requirement, so the clearest competitive signals are relevant consultancy experience, framework access and capacity to undertake a focused assignment for this buyer.
