Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned business analysis consultancy services for an enterprise assurance follow-up and culture review under reference RSGR0004. The work concerns reviewing organisational assurance arrangements and culture, supporting the department’s rail-related commercial or operational activity. It is a services requirement rather than goods or construction, classified under CPV 72221000. Delivery is stated to cover the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the Department for Transport, based at Horseferry Road in London. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies with the ability to deliver assurance, business analysis and organisational culture review work across geographically dispersed operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 15 July 2026 to BRAMBLE HUB LIMITED. The award value is £50,000 including the stated currency of GBP, matching the procurement’s total value. The contract runs from 18 June 2026 to 17 September 2026. The procurement used a direct award from a framework, described as “Other - Direct Award off Framework”, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 11:30. The awarded supplier is recorded as an active supplier, and the award covers the full requirement. The contracting process therefore records a completed award for a short-term consultancy engagement with the Department for Transport.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Transport for focused consultancy on enterprise assurance, follow-up reviews and organisational culture. A credible future competitor would need practical business analysis capability, experience assessing assurance arrangements and the ability to examine how organisational culture affects governance, controls and delivery. The work is likely to suit an SME consultancy able to provide senior analytical and review expertise without the scale of a large delivery team. Suppliers should also understand public-sector operating environments and be able to work across the department’s geographically broad area of activity. Experience of framework-based public procurement and direct-award routes would help a business position itself for comparable requirements from this buyer.
