Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) aimed to enhance strategic assurance and develop pivotal roadmaps for their HR Change Portfolio. It involved general management consultancy services, classified under CPV code 79411000, and operated under a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract focused on a diagnostic review for HR programmes alongside automation initiatives, covering regions such as the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Europe, and beyond. The tender concluded its active award stage on 13th March 2026, with the contract period spanning from 16th to 27th March 2026. With a project value of £76,701.45, KPMG LLP was chosen as the supplier to deliver these services. Although the tender does not favour SMEs or VCSEs, it presents significant opportunities within the consultancy sector.

This contract offers growth potential for businesses specialising in management consultancy, especially those with expertise in HR change and strategic diagnostics. Given KPMG LLP's selection, similar firms with substantial capabilities in portfolio roadmap development and corporate service transformation may find a competitive avenue here. The involvement of government bodies like DEFRA signals possible future projects worth exploring for enterprises interested in expanding their consultancy services within public sector transformation initiatives. Thus, firms familiar with delivering tailored consultancy solutions and robust diagnostics will be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities, aligning with strategic frameworks and change portfolios within the dynamic public sector landscape.
