Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business and Trade commissioned business analysis consultancy to run targeted “red teams” in selected government departments. The work is intended to identify opportunities to reduce administrative burdens, accelerate delivery of the government’s administrative burden reduction target, progress further regulatory reforms, address evidence gaps and focus reform on the highest-impact opportunities. It is a services requirement delivered across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The relevant classification is CPV 72221000, business analysis consultancy services. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is aimed at suppliers able to work with government departments on structured analysis, regulatory policy and practical reform opportunities.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. PwC LLP was awarded the contract on 9 September 2026. The award value is £4,000,000, while the wider estimated procurement value was between £4,000,000 and £8,000,000. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 21 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 14:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process for business analysis consultancy services. One supplier is identified as receiving the award. The Department for Business and Trade is the buying organisation. The procurement was structured as a single requirement rather than separate lots, covering red-team activity across selected government departments and the associated regulatory reform analysis.

For a supplier assessing future work from this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for specialist consultancy that can deploy focused red-team teams into government departments and turn findings into regulatory reform. Credible competitors would need strong business analysis capability, experience examining administrative processes, and the ability to identify high-impact opportunities rather than produce only general recommendations. They would also need to work effectively with public bodies, test assumptions, identify evidence gaps and support implementation or progression of reforms. The requirement suits organisations able to combine analytical research, stakeholder engagement and practical policy advice across several departments and locations. Small and medium-sized enterprises are explicitly suitable, while voluntary, community and social enterprises are not identified as a target supplier group. Framework access and successful delivery at this scale would be commercially relevant.
