Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation, formally The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, procured business analysis consultancy services for its Ambition 25 Outcome Delivery programme. The work is a professional services requirement focused on supporting delivery of the buyer’s Ambition 25 outcomes. Delivery is in London, United Kingdom, with the buyer’s address in the City of London area. The requirement falls within the services category and is classified under CPV 72221000, business analysis consultancy services. It is relevant to consultancies providing business analysis and management consultancy support to public bodies, particularly firms able to work with the City of London Corporation on outcome-focused delivery activity.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Korn Ferry (UK) Limited was selected as supplier on 1 September 2026 for £751,400 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 March 2027. The procurement used a direct award under the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 3, described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The published procurement method is selective, and the main category is services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There were no separate lots or separately reported awards.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of the City of London Corporation’s demand for outcome-focused business analysis consultancy. A credible future supplier would need the capability to analyse business needs, translate them into deliverable outcomes and support implementation within a public-sector environment. Experience of management consultancy framework call-offs, especially work covered by CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four Lot 3, would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a suitably experienced consultancy team, structured analysis, clear delivery planning and the capacity to support a substantial, time-limited assignment for a major London public body. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.
