Summary of the contracting process

DFT Operator Limited commissioned supply chain consultancy, including support with exit management and negotiations with suppliers. The work is business and management consultancy, intended to help the organisation manage supplier relationships and transitions. Delivery is across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The contract is for services, rather than goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Selva Consulting Ltd. It was a single-lot, below-threshold procurement; the published method detail does not identify the procedure. No evaluation criteria are recorded. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026, with an award date not stated. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 April 2027. Its value is £95,000 excluding VAT and £114,000 including VAT. The contract is active.

For a supplier considering similar work for DFT Operator Limited, the requirement indicates demand for practical supply chain advice focused on managing supplier exits and negotiating with suppliers. A credible competitor would need consultancy experience that combines supplier negotiation with structured exit management, and the ability to deliver support across multiple parts of England. The selected provider is a small enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring the scale of a large consultancy. The work is a focused, single-lot services contract, so relevant specialist expertise and capacity to support the buyer across the stated geography are more pertinent than offering a broad range of unrelated services.
