Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, led by DEFRA, involves a tender titled "DPEL_61547_034 Service Transformation Target Operating Model" under the category of general management consultancy services. The tender aims to provide specialist support for developing a future-state operating model concerning EA's Data, Digital, and Change capability. The procurement process follows a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. With a contract value of £212,898, the procurement stage is currently at the 'Award' phase, awarded on 14 October 2025 to Deloitte LLP. The contract period is set from 15 October 2025 to 31 December 2025, with services covering various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. Key dates include the tender period’s end on 14 October 2025 at 12:00 PM, just prior to the award.

This tender provides considerable opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in consultancy services related to operating model transformation. While the tender is deemed unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger consultancies with a proven track record in developing strategic transformation plans and operating models, such as Deloitte LLP, are well positioned to compete. Businesses with expertise in digital transformation, change management, and consultancy across diverse geographical locations including Europe and beyond could significantly benefit and leverage their capabilities through such contractual engagements. This opportunity accentuates the importance for consultancies to remain agile and adapt their offerings to meet public sector demands for transformative service delivery.
