## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Business Support," specifically in the services category of business and management consultancy. This procurement took place in the UK and was aimed at supporting major programmes within ONS. The award, dated 8th June 2026, was given to Deloitte LLP under a contract managed by the Crown Commercial Services' Management Consultancy Framework (MCF3). The procurement method used was limited, as no prior publication of a call for competition was made due to the specific requirements falling outside the scope of the directive. The contract, valued at £12,000,000, was signed on 15th September 2023, and focuses on utilising a flexible pool of consultants for outcome-based projects as required.

This opportunity presents significant business growth avenues for large consulting firms capable of offering skilled personnel and outcome-oriented consultancy services. Such businesses should have the capabilities to cover ONS's programme knowledge gaps and operate under a statement of works approach. Companies that are part of frameworks like the CCS's MCF3, with substantial experience in government contracts, will find this procurement particularly beneficial as they can effectively leverage their existing resources and meet the specified demands efficiently.

### Procurement Information

The scope of this requirement is to provide access to a flexible pool of skilled trained consultants that can fill our knowledge gap within the programme/s whilst delivering at pace. The Supplier will be expected to undertake outcome-based projects on a Statement of Works basis when suitable activities are identified.
