Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office has recently concluded a public procurement process titled "GCO Reward Framework Review" under the industry category of research and development services. This selective procurement, delivered by call-off from a framework agreement, was aimed at appointing a supplier to conduct a comprehensive review of the Government Commercial Organisation's reward framework, requiring an evidence-based analytical report including case studies. The contract was awarded to Soteria International Ltd t/a Soteria Consulting Ltd, with a total contract value of £74,000. The procurement process concluded with the award being active as of 22nd December 2025, and the contract period spans from 29th December 2025 to 29th March 2026. The primary location for delivery is London, with the postal code SW1A 2AS.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, especially those with competencies in analytical reporting and framework evaluation. Since the procurement method was selective, companies with existing framework agreements or those qualified for call-offs are best positioned to compete in similar tenders. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) stand to gain considerable benefit, as the suitability criteria favour such organisations. This contract could serve as a stepping stone for businesses aiming to establish or expand their portfolio in government consultancy projects, particularly within the realms of public sector organisational development and reward framework analysis.
