## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured specialist consultancy services for its Human Performance programme. The requirement covered nine days of consultancy focused on human performance, with the work classified as research and development services and related consultancy services. This is a services opportunity for a specialist human performance consultancy rather than the supply of equipment, construction or general business support. The contracting authority is the Ministry of Defence, a central government department. The requirement sits within the defence and security sector and was managed by the Ministry of Defence. The selected supplier, Breathing and Performance PTY Ltd, is based in Buddina, Australia, indicating that the service could be delivered by an international specialist. The work relates specifically to supporting the Ministry’s Human Performance programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. It used a single lot, which is complete. The contract was awarded to Breathing and Performance PTY Ltd and is active. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026, runs from 27 August 2026 to 12 September 2026, and covers nine days of consultancy. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The procurement was treated as a defence and security requirement. The published outcome identifies research and development consultancy services as the contracted category. The contracting route and outcome show that the Ministry selected one specialist supplier directly rather than inviting competing bids for this requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for focused human performance expertise delivered through a short, specialist consultancy engagement. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in human performance and the ability to provide research-led consultancy tailored to a defence and security programme. The requirement is suited to a specialist consultancy with practitioners who can advise on the Human Performance programme and deliver a defined body of expert work efficiently over a limited engagement. Experience of working with central government or defence organisations would help a competitor demonstrate relevance, while international delivery capability may also be useful. The direct-award route shows the importance of being known to the buyer and able to evidence a distinctive specialist offer when similar requirements arise.
