UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nest procured business and management consultancy services to support work with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The requirement was to build a case for legislative change and define the scope of an enhanced operating model. This is a professional services opportunity for consultants with experience in public policy, legislative reform, operating-model design and stakeholder engagement across government-related programmes. The work is associated with Nest, whose address is in London, and delivery is in London. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically business and management consultancy. It concerns advisory and strategic work rather than the supply of goods, construction or operational delivery. The selected provider was an SME consultancy based in Brussels.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Andrew Tarrant Consulting SRL through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and awarded for one lot. The award is active. The contract value is EUR 35,000 excluding tax and EUR 42,000 including tax. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 October 2026, with an option to extend by up to two months, to a maximum date of 26 December 2026, if project delays occur. The award was made under the UK legal framework for public procurement. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Nest for specialist consultancy supporting legislative change, public-sector operating models and collaboration with the Department for Work and Pensions. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show a strong record of advising on policy or legislative reform, translating strategic objectives into a defined operating model, and producing a robust business case. Experience of working with government departments and managing public-sector stakeholders would be particularly relevant. The work is suited to a focused consultancy with the ability to provide senior analytical and advisory input over a short, defined project. Suppliers should also be able to work across organisational boundaries and turn complex regulatory and operating issues into practical recommendations.
