## Summary

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation, part of central government, procured technical consultancy support for the Ministry of Defence’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Pilot Programme. The service is intended to maintain progress across the PPA pilots and support the transition into the next phase of procurement and delivery. Its scope includes procurement and evaluation readiness, commercially robust strategies, supporting analysis, structured negotiations, and knowledge transfer to strengthen the MOD’s long-term PPA delivery capability and in-house expertise. The requirement is classified as energy-efficiency consultancy services (CPV 71314300). Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement covered one requirement, with KPMG LLP identified as the supplier selected for the work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award as continuation and additional services closely linked to existing PPA pilot support. KPMG LLP was selected. The awarded value is £300,000 excluding VAT and £360,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 28 February 2027, with a stated maximum extent to 31 May 2027. A three-month extension option covers both time and cost. The direct award rationale cites KPMG’s established technical, commercial and legal expertise, existing programme knowledge, work on documentation and evaluation materials, and the cost, delay and delivery risks of transferring the requirement to another supplier. The award is above the applicable threshold.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist consultancy supporting public-sector energy procurement and Power Purchase Agreement programmes. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation would need credible technical, commercial and legal capability, with particular strength in procurement strategy, evaluation design, commercial analysis and supplier negotiations. Experience of developing programme documentation, commercial artefacts, negotiation approaches and procurement-readiness materials would be relevant. The requirement also favours suppliers able to transfer knowledge effectively and build sustainable in-house capability, while maintaining continuity across a complex programme. A strong understanding of MOD requirements, public-sector governance and energy-related procurement would help establish credibility. The selected supplier’s position also shows the importance of demonstrable subject-matter expertise and the capacity to support delivery through a critical transition between pilot activity and wider procurement.

### Procurement Information

Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 - Additional Services Required The Authority seeks to directly award this requirement to KPMG on the basis that the services constitute additional services closely linked to, and a continuation of, support already being delivered under existing arrangements in relation to the PPA Pilots Programme. KPMG has provided specialist technical, commercial and legal support throughout the development of the PPA pilot activities and has established significant subject matter expertise, understanding of MOD requirements, and knowledge of the emerging procurement strategies. As part of this work, KPMG is currently developing key programme documentation, commercial artefacts, evaluation materials and negotiation approaches with support from its specialist legal and technical advisors. Engaging an alternative supplier at this stage would require a significant transfer of knowledge and duplication of work already undertaken. This would result in additional cost to the Authority through procurement activity, onboarding, familiarisation and redevelopment of existing outputs. It would also create a risk of delay to critical programme milestones and adversely impact the Authority's readiness for the next phase of procurement and supplier engagement. The continuity of KPMG's support provides the most efficient and effective means of maintaining programme momentum, preserving the value of work already completed, and ensuring that ongoing activities are delivered in a coherent and consistent manner. Furthermore, KPMG's established understanding of the programme reduces delivery risk and supports the timely achievement of MOD objectives. A direct award in these circumstances represents the most economically advantageous approach, avoiding unnecessary duplication of effort, minimising programme risk, and ensuring continuity of specialist expertise during a critical phase of the PPA Pilots Programme.
