## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured strategic professional services, specifically strategic consultancy services under the RM6309 framework. The requirement is classified as project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000), with related research and development consultancy services (CPV 73000000). Work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom for the Ministry of Defence. The stated purpose was to continue an existing strategic consultancy requirement, supporting uninterrupted delivery and avoiding transition risks after the previous framework expired. This is a defence-related professional services requirement suited to consultancies able to advise a central government department on strategic matters and manage delivery in a national public-sector environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The lot was evaluated on price and the contract was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract value is £3,574,166 GBP, and it was signed on 28 July 2026. The authority used the successor framework to maintain continuity, minimise delivery and transition risks, and preserve delivery timescales. The award rationale also cites the incumbent supplier’s existing knowledge, experience and understanding of the requirement. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the related award and contract remain active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for strategic consultancy delivered through a public-sector framework, with price as the stated evaluation basis. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable strategic professional services capability, including project management consultancy and related research or consultancy expertise. The buyer’s rationale indicates that continuity, rapid delivery and low transition risk matter, so suppliers would benefit from showing how they can understand an established requirement quickly, maintain service without disruption and meet demanding delivery timescales. Relevant experience of working with central government or defence organisations, strong mobilisation and handover arrangements, and sufficient organisational capacity to sustain a large strategic engagement would strengthen a competing proposition.
