## Summary

The procurement process titled "Completion of Change CIA's (Synergy project)" was managed by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), a significant governmental body based in London. This project falls under the services category, specifically general management consultancy services, and pertains to completing Change CIA's by March 2026. The procurement was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the award date on 23 January 2026, with the project contract running from 26 January 2026 to 31 March 2026, covering locations throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.

This contract presents an opportunity for growth in the consultancy sector, particularly for larger businesses that have experience with framework agreements, given that the procurement process was not geared towards small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Companies with expertise in comprehensive management consultancy and a proven track record with government projects would find this type of contract well-suited to their capabilities. The awarded supplier, Methods Business and Digital Technology Ltd., illustrates the calibre of business compatible with DEFRA's procurement needs.
