Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract titled "710295450 LD Fresh Eyes Review" under the industry category of Business and Management Consultancy and Related Services. The procurement process involved a limited, direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, necessitated by the technical specificity of the requirement. The awarded contract mandates an in-depth review of the Government Major Projects Portfolio within the Land Domain, with key deliverables due by 31st March 2024. The project involves significant collaboration with stakeholders at DE&S, Head Office, and Front Line Commands, with the contracted review focusing on strategic priorities, objectives, and potential Defence sector risks centered around MOD Abbey Wood, Bristol.

This contract presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in defence consultation and strategic risk management. Given the technical and detailed nature of the requirements, businesses with extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the Army Portfolio and existing DE&S and MOD structures, like KPMG LLP, who won the bid, are particularly well-suited. The project draws on comprehensive engagement with high-level Defence stakeholders, making it ideal for large, established firms capable of providing specialised consultancy within the Defence sector and fostering substantial business growth through strategic partnerships and significant project engagements.

    "description": "This requirement has been awarded through RM 6187 Lot 3 - Complex and Transformation using the Direct Award procedure. This approach is necessary due to only one supplier having been identified as capable of meeting the requirement of undertaking a deep-dive review of ongoing work programmes and developing strategic priorities and objectives. The successful supplier is required to possess an in-depth knowledge of the Army Portfolio, and extant DE&S, Head Office and Front Line Command Management Information due to the potential impact upon the delivery of DE&S' strategic aims. The successful supplier is also required to have prior experience of providing this service to the MOD and Front Line Command, and in identifying potential business risks/issues specific to the Defence sector. Therefore, KPMG were identified as the only supplier present within the Management Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3) Lot 3 capable of fulfilling the requirement, meaning that only the Direct Award approach was appropriate in this situation.",
