UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade commissioned business analysis consultancy to develop a readily deployable UK approach to reconstruction. The work is intended to identify evidence, lessons and actionable insights that can inform that approach. It falls within consultancy services, specifically business analysis consultancy (CPV 72221000). The buyer is the Department for Business & Trade, a central government department. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Jacobs U.K. Limited. The Department used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 29 September to 27 November 2026, with an optional one-month time-only extension to 27 December 2026. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The procurement comprised one lot. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Business & Trade for focused consultancy that can turn evidence and lessons into practical, deployable policy approaches to reconstruction. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need strong business analysis capability, experience identifying and synthesising relevant evidence, and the judgement to translate findings into actionable recommendations for a UK government context. The short, concentrated assignment indicates a need to mobilise expertise quickly and deliver clear outputs within a limited engagement. The work was awarded directly without competition, so this outcome does not show how suppliers were compared or what formal selection standards were applied. Suppliers with relevant reconstruction knowledge and demonstrable consultancy delivery experience would be well placed when comparable work of this kind is next considered.
