## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) bought management consultancy support for its EU Reset Programme. The work is intended to strengthen senior leadership, programme and project delivery, and business change capability. It includes establishing a Portfolio Delivery Unit and providing wider portfolio support. The listed delivery locations span the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a strategic portfolio and organisational change assignment, rather than a purchase of standalone goods or routine operational services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Methods Business and Digital Technology Ltd. The award was made on 30 September 2026. Its value is £2,575,750, and the contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 May 2027. Defra used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 28 August 2026. The stated evaluation criteria are not available in the published process information. The opportunity was classified as a services contract, with no lots recorded. The procurement was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier considering comparable future work with Defra, this award demonstrates demand for integrated management consultancy that combines senior leadership development with programme and project delivery and business change. A credible competitor would need to show it can establish and support a Portfolio Delivery Unit while providing wider portfolio-level capability, rather than offering a narrow advisory service. The scale and breadth of the assignment point to a supplier able to mobilise experienced people across several disciplines and deliver support across a portfolio. The selected supplier accessed the work through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and a strong record of delivering complex public-sector change programmes would be commercially important. The stated SME and VCSE suitability flags suggest this was aimed at larger suppliers.
