## Summary

The Office for Students bought business and management consultancy services to support organisation design. The requirement covers advice and practical support for reviewing or developing organisational structures, roles and operating arrangements. It is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction contract. The named buyer is the Office for Students, based in Bristol. Delivery could take place in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories or elsewhere internationally. The procurement is classified under CPV 79400000, covering business and management consultancy and related services. The work is therefore relevant to consultancies that provide organisation design support for public bodies and can deliver across a broad geographic area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PA Consulting Services Ltd on 11 September 2026. The award value is £214,500. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 20 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026, and the tender was recorded as complete. It was initiated as a tender, with the procurement category identified as services. The award is active and relates to the full organisation design support requirement rather than separately identified lots. The published outcome identifies PA Consulting Services Ltd as the sole awarded supplier. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for organisation design consultancy within the Office for Students and the scale of work it has recently commissioned. A credible future competitor would need specialist capability in business and management consultancy, with particular strength in organisation design and the ability to support a public-sector client through a focused assignment. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was not assessed as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises. That indicates a market position favouring established consultancies with sufficient organisational capacity, experienced delivery teams and the resources to work across the buyer’s potentially international delivery footprint.
