The awarded contract, valued at £160,000, was granted through a direct procurement method to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for large consulting firms possessing expertise in public sector reform and management services. Businesses that can deliver comprehensive research and consultancy services may find valuable opportunities in such government contracts, enabling them to expand their portfolios and demonstrate competency in large-scale reform projects. However, smaller enterprises and voluntary or community sector entities were deemed unsuitable for this contract, indicating a preference for sizeable, well-established suppliers like PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
