Summary of the contracting process

DSIT procured commercial, business case and programme management office (PMO) support for its Novel Compute Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC). This is a professional services requirement covering commercial activity, development of business cases and PMO support, rather than the supply of physical equipment. The buying organisation is DSIT, based at 22 Whitehall, Westminster, England. Delivery may take place across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and elsewhere in the world. The requirement is classified as support services (CPV 44212313). It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to consultancies and specialist delivery teams able to provide public-sector commercial, business-case and programme governance expertise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. DSIT used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at 2pm. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was awarded the contract on 28 August 2026, at a value of £410,080. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The stated procurement value was between £410,080 and £615,120, with the higher value applying if extension periods are used. The award was active at publication. The process was evaluated for this commercial and delivery support requirement; the published information identifies the service scope but does not set out separate scoring weights or detailed award criteria.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from DSIT for short-term specialist support around novel-compute delivery. A credible future competitor would need consultants who can advise on commercial matters, develop robust public-sector business cases and provide effective PMO support across a complex technology programme. Useful capability would include structured programme governance, planning, reporting, risk and issue management, stakeholder coordination and the ability to turn technical or policy objectives into financially and commercially sound cases. Experience working with government clients and framework call-off procedures would strengthen a bid. SME suitability indicates that a smaller consultancy or specialist team could compete where it can demonstrate sufficient capacity, relevant delivery evidence and dependable nationwide or international support.
