Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, facilitated by the Ministry of Defence, involved awarding a contract titled "715878489 - MCF 4 Order Form" for system implementation planning services, classified under CPV code 72224100. The location for this procurement was the United Kingdom, with the main procurement category being services. The contract, worth £1,082,000, was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and marked as active on 30th June 2026. The procurement was completed through a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the necessity for continuity after an expired framework contract. The relevant regulation was identified under CELEX 32014L0024, indicating the process fell outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large firms with strategic consultancy expertise, specifically those equipped to continue existing service frameworks seamlessly. Businesses with a substantial understanding of the Ministry of Defence requirements and capable of delivering strategic professional services efficiently would have benefited from participating in similar procurements. Leveraging specific industry experience and existing relationships with the contracting authority could pave the way for future contracts and collaborations within the defence sector. The contract's scope for system implementation planning is a key area for firms aiming to expand their consultancy portfolio in governmental defence projects.
