Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in Bristol, UK, has completed a procurement process for "System quality assurance planning services" with KPMG-LLP as the supplier. This procurement, which falls under the services category, is aligned with the industry classification for system quality assurance planning services (CPV: 72224200). It involved a direct award process without prior publication, as the procurement fell outside the application scope of usual directives due to financial thresholds. The contract, valued at £199,850, was signed on 18th August 2025, and the entire project reached completion status by 7th October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses with expertise in management consultancy, strategic planning, or those capable of delivering high-level advice to government organisations. Given the nature of this contract, large-scale consultancy firms or specialised businesses with a focus on governmental strategic advisories would be well-suited to undertake such opportunities. The process's strategic involvement with the Ministry of Defence can open avenues for further contracts in the defence sector, enhancing credibility and expanding networks within this highly specialised industry.
