Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in the United Kingdom has completed the tender process for the "Cost Mapping & Savings Options" project under the industry category of General Management Consultancy Services (CPV: 79411000). This procurement, valued at £325,325, was undertaken using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, which commenced on August 14, 2024, and concluded on September 10, 2024, aimed to design and deploy a methodology for mapping costs associated with specific capabilities and services, assess cost-saving opportunities, and understand 'cost to serve' in preparation for an upcoming Spending Review (SR) submission.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses focusing on management consultancy services with expertise in cost analysis and savings strategies. Large consultancies like PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete in such selective procurement processes due to the requirement for comprehensive capabilities and extensive experience. Although SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this tender, future similar opportunities could potentially cater to a wider range of businesses, thereby fostering growth and providing varied avenues for contract acquisition.
