Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Post Office Limited commissioned professional environmental, social and governance (ESG) services, classified as general management consultancy. The requirement is to provide expert support across two phases: a Prove Phase followed by a Delivery Phase. The scope covers business case development, supply chain mapping, financial modelling, social value augmentation, implementation planning, performance optimisation and integration into business-as-usual operations. The services support the buyer’s ESG strategy and its practical delivery, rather than a single discrete product or construction project. Work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is relevant to management consultancies and ESG specialists able to combine sustainability, social value, commercial analysis, supply-chain expertise and implementation support for a large public-facing organisation such as the Post Office.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Post Office Limited used a limited call-off under the RM6309 MCF4 Lot 2 Strategy and Policy framework, through a further competition without publishing a separate call for competition. KPMG LLP was awarded the contract on 7 July 2026, at a value of £1,000,000. Seven bids were recorded. Evaluation placed 70% of the weighting on business requirements and 30% on price. The procurement was structured as one lot, with two possible 12-month extensions. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, but the award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026. The process was conducted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 framework arrangements.

For a supplier assessing future work from Post Office Limited, this award demonstrates demand for end-to-end ESG consultancy rather than narrowly defined reporting advice. A credible competitor would need to develop robust business cases, map complex supply chains, build financial models and strengthen social value outcomes. It would also need to turn strategy into implementation, optimise performance and embed ESG activity within business-as-usual operations. The requirement favours organisations able to provide both strategic advice and practical delivery across a prove-and-deliver model. Experience of working with public-sector or similarly complex, highly distributed organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, stakeholder and operational requirements. Suppliers should also be comfortable competing through an established public-sector strategy and policy framework, with quality of the proposed business response carrying greater weight than price.
