Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Scottish Government centred around the awarding of ARP Management Consultancy Services, a significant initiative within the software programming and consultancy services industry category. Taking place in Edinburgh, the process reached the award stage by 21 May 2025, underlining its direct procurement method in which Deloitte LLP was selected as the supplier without any competitive tendering. The contract, valued at GBP 154,680, was signed and activated on 5 August 2025. This endeavour aims to develop a Target Operating Model essential to achieving outcomes in agricultural reform and addresses the government’s lack of internal expertise in this domain.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for business growth, specifically for those possessing robust capabilities in management consultancy intertwined with agricultural reform and technical design. Companies specialising in delivering transformative procedural strategies and possessing a comprehensive understanding of policy-related frameworks in the agricultural sector can leverage this contract for expansion. With the direct procurement method, it suggests that agencies capable of cultivating niche expertise and fostering collaborative approaches with policymakers and technical experts will stand to gain considerably in similar venture opportunities.

Notice Title

Award of ARP Management Consultancy Services

Notice Description

The managed service contract is to provide a Management Consultancy Service to lead the successful design and a delivery of a TOM to support our transformation programme. The Service Provider should work with business, policy and technical staff to design a new TOM, ensuring all aspects of the organisation are designed to deliver future agricultural support and payments, driving key decisions that allow the overarching design to be defined and building on progress to date. This area of work is critical and core to the programme in order to deliver the outcomes and benefits of agriculture reform. We do not currently have the skillset for Target Operating Model work internally.
