Summary of the contracting process

The British Library, a central government public authority based in London, has completed a procurement process to select an Organisational Change Consultant. This tender, titled "Organisational Change Consultant," falls under the services industry category, specifically focused on business and management consultancy. The procurement method used was a limited competition due to the below-threshold value of the contract. The contract was awarded on 30th September 2025, starting immediately on that date and concluding on 6th March 2026. The consultancy service is intended to facilitate a broad programme of improvement and transformational change at the British Library, with potential operations spanning multiple regions across the United Kingdom.

This opportunity offers significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in organisational change and management consultancy. The contract was awarded to Sila Consulting Ltd, an SME based in London, demonstrating that businesses of this size can successfully engage with public sector contracts. Companies with expertise in transformational change and capability in managing improvement programmes within governmental or institutional settings would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future.
