Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofcom, the buying organisation based in London, England, has completed the award stage of its Investment Programme 2025/26, focusing on business analysis consultancy services. Under CPV classification 72221000, the tender was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with an estimated contract value of £90,000. The contract period runs from 11th July 2025 to 31st October 2025. Key dates include the tender period ending on 4th June 2025, with the award date confirmed as 11th July 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs. Businesses specialising in consultancy services, and that are part of existing framework agreements, would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. The successful bidder, PA Consulting Services Ltd, represents a large-scale enterprise, yet the preference for SMEs suggests future procurements may favour smaller entities. Engaging with tenders like this can provide businesses with an entry into high-value consultancy contracts, fostering long-term growth and expertise in public sector collaborations.
