## Summary

This public procurement process, led by DEFRA, involves a tender titled "DPEL_61547_034 Service Transformation Target Operating Model" under the category of general management consultancy services. The tender aims to provide specialist support for developing a future-state operating model concerning EA's Data, Digital, and Change capability.

With a contract value of £212,898, the procurement stage is currently at the 'Award' phase, awarded on 14 October 2025 to Deloitte LLP.

This opportunity accentuates the importance for consultancies to remain agile and adapt their offerings to meet public sector demands for transformative service delivery.
