Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has awarded a contract titled "Agri Food Chain (AFC) 2025 transformation/re-structure" under the industry category of general management consultancy services. This project, situated in London, aims to develop a portfolio-based structure for organisational design, focusing on implementation and long-term sustainability. The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded on 17 April 2025 to PA Consulting Services Ltd. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in management and organisational design, particularly those interested in the agriculture and food sectors. Although this specific contract has been completed, similar opportunities may arise for companies seeking to offer strategic consultancy services. The process favours businesses familiar with framework agreements, and while it does not specifically target SMEs or VCSEs, companies experienced with government projects can leverage their expertise to date in securing future contracts under similar procurement methods.
