Summary of the contracting process

The Government Actuary's Department, located in London, has completed a procurement process titled "Exco Strategy Health Check" under the services industry category. This procurement involves a direct award without competition and is associated with computer-related professional services. The awarded contract, active from 13 April 2026 to 12 April 2027, was signed on 13 April 2026 with a total value of £51,000 gross. The procurement, identified by legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, was processed below the usual threshold, eliminating the need for open competition, and is directed towards supporting the 2030 Strategy progress.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Menkus and Associates, Ltd., which was the successful supplier. Specialising in providing strategic advisory services, enterprises within the IT and consultancy sectors, particularly those offering expertise in computer-related professional services, would find such contracts advantageous. The procurement approach, by circumventing typical competitive procedures, provides niche businesses with the opportunity to establish long-term relationships with central government entities, thus enhancing both their portfolio and reputation in the public sector.
