## Summary

The Serious Fraud Office bought specialist consultancy services to support the definition phase of its Data Fusion Project. The work is systems and technical consultancy, focused on helping define the project rather than delivering a general consultancy service. Delivery is in London. The buying organisation is the Serious Fraud Office, based at Cockspur Street. This requirement was procured through the G Cloud 14 framework. The work may be relevant to consultancy firms with expertise in defining data, technology or systems projects for public-sector organisations, particularly those able to support the needs of a serious fraud investigation agency.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Allthorpe Consulting Ltd. The award was made on 12 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 October to 24 December 2026. The awarded contract value is £271,660. The requirement was called off selectively from the G Cloud 14 framework rather than run as an open tender. The submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The published procurement information identifies the framework route but gives no specific evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements beyond SME suitability. The award demonstrates that the Serious Fraud Office selected a supplier for short-term, specialist support during the definition phase of a major data project.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows a defined demand for specialist consultancy at the early stage of a data fusion project: supporting the buyer to shape and define the work before delivery. A credible competitor would need demonstrable systems and technical consultancy capability, including the ability to work with a public-sector investigations organisation and translate its requirements into a practical project definition. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of specialist requirement can be delivered by a smaller consultancy rather than only a large systems integrator. Relevant experience in data projects, stakeholder engagement and shaping technical programmes would help a supplier evidence fit when the Serious Fraud Office next needs comparable support.
