## Summary

Birmingham City Council bought consultancy support on devolution and growth policy. The work is business and management consultancy, focused on supporting the Council’s policy work in these areas. Delivery is in Birmingham. The procurement was made through the Government Commercial Agency’s Management Consultancy Framework Four, under its strategy lot. The awarded supplier was KPMG LLP.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to KPMG LLP on 6 October 2026. The award value is £149,750. The contract runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The original estimated value was £149,000. The submission deadline was 22 September 2026 at 12 noon. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not describe a separate scoring or evaluation basis beyond the framework call-off route.

For consultancies competing for similar Birmingham City Council work, this award indicates demand for strategic policy advice spanning devolution and growth. Credible suppliers would need to demonstrate relevant public-sector strategy and policy expertise, and the ability to support a council on linked economic growth and governance issues. The selected firm was a large consultancy, showing that the buyer has used a supplier with substantial organisational capacity, while the procurement was also marked as suitable for SMEs. Smaller firms with focused policy teams may therefore be relevant where they can evidence equivalent subject expertise and deliver the required support. Experience working with local government and translating strategic policy priorities into practical advice would be directly pertinent to this buyer’s requirement.
