Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency bought specialist consultancy support for complex procurement engagements across government. Consultants are to work alongside and be embedded with the complex transactions team during engagements, supporting complex commercial strategy and procurement work. This is a procurement consultancy service (CPV 79418000). The work covers England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. The requirement is for advisory and delivery support on complex public-sector commercial transactions, rather than a general consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Deloitte LLP. The agency used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 2 September 2026, following a tender deadline of 5 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 1 September 2028. The awarded value is £3.5 million. The procurement was not divided into lots. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or explain how bids were compared, so the award basis beyond the framework call-off route cannot be described.

For a supplier considering comparable work for the Government Commercial Agency, this award demonstrates demand for specialist consultancy embedded within a complex transactions team and supporting procurement engagements across government. A credible competitor would need consultants able to advise on complex commercial and procurement activity, and to work directly alongside the buyer’s team during live engagements. The broad delivery footprint points to a need to support public-sector work across the UK and Crown Dependencies. The contract was awarded through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and experience delivering this kind of specialist procurement support through that route would be commercially pertinent when assessing similar opportunities from this buyer.
