Summary of the contracting process

Devon and Cornwall Police commissioned an organisational review for a specialist department. The work is a management consultancy service, classified under CPV 79411000, covering organisational review and related general management consultancy activity. Delivery is in the South East of England. The buying organisation is Devon and Cornwall Police, based in Exeter. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement is focused on examining a specialist department’s organisation, providing the buyer with consultancy input relevant to its management and organisational arrangements. It is therefore most relevant to consultancies that undertake organisational reviews and general management consultancy for public sector organisations, particularly policing or other complex operational departments.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Devon and Cornwall Police used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Tender submissions closed at 12:00 on 5 August 2026, and the contract was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers Private Limited on 24 August 2026. The award value is £175,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 January 2027. The awarded supplier is a large organisation, and the procurement was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The tender itself had a total estimated value of £175,000. No lots or separate awards are recorded.

This award indicates demand from Devon and Cornwall Police for structured organisational review and general management consultancy delivered to a specialist department. A credible competitor for similar work would need a strong organisational-review methodology, experienced management consultants and the capacity to assess complex public-sector operating arrangements and turn findings into practical recommendations. Experience working with policing, emergency services or similarly regulated and operationally demanding organisations would strengthen a future proposition, although the recorded requirement does not state a specific accreditation or technical qualification. The buyer used a framework call-off and selected a large supplier, so firms considering comparable work should understand framework participation and demonstrate sufficient scale, governance, quality assurance and delivery capacity for a concentrated consultancy assignment.
