UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership commissioned a data strategy and structure review, described as an engagement letter. The requirement falls within IT consulting and related technology services, covering advice on data strategy and the way data is structured and managed. The work is for The Guinness Partnership, a public undertaking, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerns professional consulting rather than software supply, construction or routine operational support. It is relevant to consultancies that advise organisations on data strategy, information architecture, data structures and related technology arrangements, particularly those able to review an existing data environment and provide recommendations suited to a large housing-sector organisation. The named service is specific to data strategy and structure review.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. It comprised one completed requirement. PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory N.V. was selected as the supplier, with an award status of active. The award was made on 18 June 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 18 June 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £28,500 excluding VAT and £34,200 including VAT. The arrangement is for services delivered in the United Kingdom. The recorded contract title is “PWC - Data Strategy and Structure Review”. As the route was a direct award without competition, the opportunity was not evaluated through a competitive tender process.

This award is useful market evidence for consultancies specialising in data strategy and data structure reviews for public undertakings and housing organisations. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in assessing how an organisation’s data is organised, governed and used, then translating that assessment into a clear improvement strategy. Relevant firms are likely to combine senior advisory experience with technical understanding of information architecture, data management and supporting IT services. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct route indicates a relatively focused, short engagement rather than a large implementation programme. Suppliers should therefore be able to deliver a defined review efficiently, produce usable recommendations and work directly with a public-sector client.
