Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark has recently completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Procurement and Supply Chain Review." This contract, classified under Business and Management Consultancy Services (CPV code 79400000), is aimed at enhancing procurement effectiveness and optimising third-party spend. The contract was awarded to PwC for a value of £173,950, and the project aligns with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Council's Southwark 2030 vision. Although the procurement stage is at the award status, with the award notice published on 9th December 2025, the contract period runs from 6th October 2025 until 6th March 2026. This project is relevant to a wide geographic area, including the United Kingdom and other international regions.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in consultancy services, specifically those focused on optimisation and supply chain enhancements. It represents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand into the public sector, although the contract itself has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, PwC. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions to align with legal frameworks and strategic visions, such as the Procurement Act 2023, would be well-positioned for similar opportunities in the future. The tender underscores the importance of comprehensive industry knowledge and the ability to execute projects across multiple jurisdictions, making it ideal for consultancies looking to showcase their expertise on an international scale.
