The Crown Commercial Service has awarded a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for Spend Analysis and Recovery Services, designated as RM3820/1. This procurement falls under the services category and is relevant to financial analysis and consultancy, with a total contract value of £48 million. The framework commenced on 16 January 2018 and is set to conclude on 15 January 2020, although there is an option for up to two extensions of 12 months each. Tenders were accepted until 4 October 2017, indicating that the procurement stage has concluded with the award being published on 5 February 2018. The services will be available to all UK Central Government departments and wider public sector organisations across various locations, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, and the Channel Islands.
