## Summary

The Department for Transport bought financial consultancy services to support rail contracts and projects. The work covers the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. It is a service requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, with the CPV classification 66171000 for financial consultancy services. The requirement concerns specialist financial advice connected with the Department’s rail contracting and project activity. Delivery may therefore involve work across the Department’s rail portfolio and locations beyond the UK. The named buying organisation is the Department for Transport, based at Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London, England.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to KPMG LLP on 21 August 2026 for £375,295 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 17:00. The published process records the procurement category as services and identifies the selected supplier, but does not set out an award weighting or other evaluation basis. The opportunity was presented as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots are identified.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that the Department for Transport uses framework call-offs to obtain financial advisory support for rail contracts and projects. A credible competitor for this requirement would need demonstrable financial consultancy capability applied specifically to rail contracting and project environments, together with the capacity to support a large public-sector rail portfolio across UK and international locations. The awarded supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale and the ability to provide sustained specialist resource are relevant benchmarks. Firms should be able to operate through the Department’s framework route and show experience delivering financial advice for complex transport contracts and projects when comparable requirements return to market.
