## Summary

The procurement process for the "DFTO Organisation and Model Design" was conducted by DFT OPERATOR LIMITED, a public body focused on rail transport. This contract, related to business and management consultancy services, was listed under CPV 79410000 and involves services in the UK region, specifically UKI. It was carried out through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a competition call, implying a direct award following a mini competition under the Crown Commercial Services framework. The tender phase is now complete, and the contract was signed on 26 November 2025, with an awarded value of £195,000 to Baringa Partners LLP, a large consultancy firm headquartered in London.

The process highlights a potentially lucrative collaboration opportunity for established firms capable of navigating and winning contracts under the Crown Commercial Services framework, enabling them to solidify their presence in the public sector consultancy domain. Furthermore, given the project's urban focus, firms with experience in rail transport consultancy and operations aligned with public sector needs are especially well-suited to benefit from similar future procurements.
