Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority bought managed professional services for its BPSI project, covering the digital, data and technology (DDaT) services needed over the project’s life. The requirement is classified as project management consultancy (CPV 72224000). The work is for the CMA, based in London, and delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement centred on supplying and managing the DDaT expertise the project needs, rather than a purchase of standalone goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Morson Projects Limited trading as Morson Praxis. The award was made on 1 February 2026, at £2,000,000, for a contract period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The estimated tender value was also £2,000,000. The CMA used a selective process to call off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 29 December 2025. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not describe specific evaluation criteria or separate lots.

For suppliers competing when the CMA next requires this BPSI project support, credibility will rest on the ability to provide managed DDaT professional services across a project’s lifecycle. The award demonstrates demand for a supplier able to assemble and manage the digital, data and technology expertise required as project needs arise, rather than deliver a single narrowly defined consultancy task. Suppliers should be able to show that they can support project management consultancy and coordinate a range of relevant specialists within a managed-services arrangement. The buyer used a framework call-off, so experience operating through framework arrangements is relevant to this route. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms may be credible competitors, including where they can demonstrate the breadth and capacity to manage the required services.
