## Summary

The procurement process titled "Plan of Water Delivery Programme" was initiated by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and involves the design and setup of a sophisticated programme management function. This contract falls under the industry category of management-related services, specifically general management consultancy services. The location for delivery is set in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement stage is currently at the award phase. The contract was awarded on 16th June 2023 with an active status. This was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period spanning from 19th June 2023 to 31st August 2023.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, specifically those focusing on programme and general management. Firms with the capacity to handle substantial project management tasks in the UK's public sector would be well-suited to compete and benefit from such contracts. Although the procurement process is not tailored for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), it provides substantial business growth possibilities for large consultancies, such as the awarded supplier Deloitte LLP. Participating in such public tenders can enhance a business's portfolio and establish strong credibility within the industry.
