## Summary

The Council of Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations procured outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) advisory services for the Council and its 13 regional Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations (RFCA) offices. The requirement is a legal and data protection advisory service, supporting the Council and its regional offices across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority based in London. The service concerns outsourced DPO advice rather than general legal support, and is intended to provide data protection expertise across a distributed group of public-sector offices. Suppliers specialising in external DPO provision, data protection compliance advice and related legal advisory services would be relevant to this requirement and its operating environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct procedure without competition. Moore Kingston Smith LLP was selected as supplier for the single lot. The awarded value is £183,000 gross, including taxes, in GBP. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 1 April 2030. The award outcome was recorded on 17 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for that date. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was below the applicable threshold. The procurement used direct award rather than an open or restricted competition, so the outcome reflects a non-competitive route and a single appointed provider.

This award demonstrates a sustained requirement for outsourced DPO and data protection advisory capability across a public-sector organisation with a central body and 13 regional offices. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable legal and regulatory advice, coordinate delivery across multiple offices and maintain consistent support for a distributed client structure. Relevant experience would include acting as an external DPO or providing comparable data protection advisory services to public authorities or other multi-site organisations. Suppliers should be able to manage ongoing compliance advice at organisational scale, communicate with different regional teams and provide a practical service that can operate across the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist firms can meet this type of requirement.
