Summary of the contracting process

The contract for "Industrial Strategy Implementation" has been awarded by the Department for Business & Trade, located at Old Admiralty Building, London. This procurement, which falls under the services category, specifically involves business and management consultancy. The project is associated with the UK region and was initiated through a direct procurement method, as it was below threshold without competition. It reached the award stage on 8th September 2025, with Ernst and Young LLP being the successful supplier. The contract, valued at £54,000 gross, commenced on 22nd August 2025 and is set to conclude on 3rd September 2025, with a possible extension of up to fifteen days for additional deliverables.

This contract presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in business and management services to engage with central government initiatives. The procurement's focus on implementing the Industrial Strategy could offer long-term collaborations and enhance a company's portfolio in governmental consultancy projects. Large enterprises with experience in strategic advisory and implementation would be well-positioned to deliver value in this context. While the direct award approach was applied, understanding the needs and results of such a contract can provide insights into potential future competitive bids and areas for business growth.
