Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency bought specialist organisation services for the future Civil Service, classified under CPV 98113000. The requirement is a services contract delivered in London. The published title describes the requirement as “Provision of Future Civil Service”. The buyer is the Government Commercial Agency, acting within the Cabinet Office commercial function. The procurement concerns the provision of services by an organisation with specialist expertise, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with London, United Kingdom. The selected supplier is Guidehouse Europe Limited, a large organisation based in London, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an established specialist services provider operating in the same broad location as the delivery requirement.

This procurement has been completed and was awarded on 2 July 2026 to Guidehouse Europe Limited for £1,666,660, using a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 3 July 2026 to 26 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026. The award is active, and a contract-signed document is associated with the outcome. The procurement was for services, with an estimated tender value of £1,666,660. The award value is also £1,666,660. The process therefore records a short, defined call-off requirement with a single named supplier and a contract period of just under four months. The procurement status is complete.

This award shows that the buyer uses a framework call-off route to obtain specialist services for the Civil Service, with a requirement delivered in London and fulfilled by a large specialist provider. Businesses considering comparable future work would need to be established specialist organisations with the capacity to deliver a focused Civil Service assignment through a framework-based procurement route. Relevant preparation would include understanding how to qualify for and compete through the applicable framework, demonstrating specialist organisational capability, and maintaining delivery capacity for a concentrated London requirement. The award also provides a useful benchmark for the type of provider selected: a large services business with an established presence in London. The published suitability assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
