## Summary

The contract awarded by Ofcom for the project "Designing an agile approach to regulatory policy making" has been completed. The procurement method used was Other - Under threshold ITT. The contract value is £55,000, and the contract period is from 4th September 2023 to 3rd November 2023. The buying organisation, Ofcom, based in London, United Kingdom, initiated this tender with a specific focus on market research services.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and other businesses in the services sector to engage in consultancy services aimed at developing innovative policy processes and tools for Ofcom. The contract was awarded to PA Consulting Services Limited, highlighting the potential for consulting firms to contribute to enhancing regulatory practices in the communications sector and leveraging agile methodologies for policy development. Interested businesses with experience in market research, project management, and agile methodology are well-suited to compete for such opportunities for business growth.

## Notice

Ofcom is reviewing its internal processes and culture to ensure we are adopting the latest and best approaches to respond to rapid change and evolving challenges of regulating the communications sectors. We have a requirement for a consultancy to (i) undertake a participative design process with a selected group of Ofcom colleagues to (ii) develop bespoke project processes and systems/tools (the 'Agile policy process and toolkit') that improve the responsiveness and efficiency of our policy development, embed Ofcom's new 'Agile' leadership behaviours and set the standard for how Ofcom runs policy projects in future. The delivered Agile policy project process and toolkit should be ready to form the basis of training for cohorts of mid-level leaders and project managers.
