UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

DFT Operator Limited bought consultancy services to chair its TOC Remco meetings. The requirement covers human resources management consultancy, including providing an independent chair for meetings of the TOC Remco. The service is classified under CPV 79414000. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. DFT Operator Limited is a public undertaking based in London and is the buying organisation for this requirement. The procurement concerns a focused advisory and governance role rather than the delivery of general human resources operations, recruitment, payroll or other business support services. It is therefore relevant to consultancies with experience in human resources management and the preparation, leadership or oversight of senior committee meetings.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Alchester HR Consulting Ltd, an SME. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 October 2027, with an option for a one-year extension and a maximum end date of 1 October 2028. Its value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. There was one completed lot. DFT Operator Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, so suppliers were not invited to compete. The selected supplier is Alchester HR Consulting Ltd. The contract is active and the tender is complete.

This award shows that DFT Operator Limited uses a direct, below-threshold route for a narrowly defined governance consultancy requirement. For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to provide senior human resources consultancy and chair TOC Remco meetings effectively. Relevant capability would include leading structured committee discussions, maintaining impartiality, handling confidential employment or organisational matters, and producing clear outcomes and follow-up actions. The buyer has used an SME for this service, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large professional-services firm. Businesses with demonstrable experience chairing senior governance or remuneration-related meetings, alongside sound HR advisory expertise, would be best placed to assess similar work from this buyer.
