Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency bought specialist support services, classified as management-related services (CPV 79420000). The requirement is described as “Provision of Specialist Support for GCA”, indicating advisory or operational management support for the agency. Delivery covered the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. The buying organisation is the Government Commercial Agency, with Crown Commercial Service acting on behalf of the Cabinet Office for the procurement contact. This is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction contract. The broad geographic coverage points to a supplier able to support the agency across multiple UK nations and the Crown Dependencies, either through an established national team or coordinated specialist resources.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Interpath Ltd on 21 July 2026. The recorded award value is £0, and the award is active. The contract period runs from 16 July 2026 to 6 August 2026. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026. The tender was marked complete, and the published outcome identifies one supplier. The opportunity was not reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was for services and covered a single requirement rather than separately described lots. The award information identifies the successful supplier and the contract dates, while the available procurement data does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates a short-term requirement for specialist management support within the Government Commercial Agency, procured through an existing framework route. Businesses assessing future work with this buyer would need access to relevant management, advisory or specialist support capability, together with the capacity to mobilise quickly for a defined engagement. The successful supplier was a large organisation, and the requirement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, suggesting that scale, established delivery arrangements and the ability to coordinate resources across a wide geography may be important. Framework access is commercially significant: suppliers would need to understand the applicable framework category and call-off process, maintain a credible record of comparable specialist assignments, and demonstrate that they can provide appropriately experienced personnel for central government work.
