Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is orchestrated by The Water Services Regulation Authority, located at Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham, UK. This particular contract, titled "PROC.0261 - External Change Mang Comms," falls under the industry category of general management consultancy services. It is specifically targeted at the provision of an External Change Partner for the Communications Team. The procurement method employed was "limited," indicating a process below the threshold with limited competition, and the procedure reached the award stage as of 9th July 2026. The contract spans from 23rd February 2026 to 6th April 2026 and is valued at £85,000 (net) out of a gross amount of £102,000, payable in GBP. Deloitte LLP based in London, UK, was awarded the contract.

This tender offers valuable business growth opportunities, primarily for professional services firms specialising in management consultancy services. With a focus on providing strategic external change management support, businesses experienced in government and public sector projects, particularly those with expertise in communications strategies, stand well-placed to compete. The successful bidder, Deloitte LLP, exemplifies the type of large-scale consulting firms that can effectively leverage such opportunities to deepen their foothold in the public sector domain. Due to the limited competition procurement method, firms with a strong reputation and proven track record in delivering targeted consultancy solutions are likely to be highly competitive in similar future tenders.
