## Summary

The Guinness Partnership Limited commissioned professional services to develop its data strategy and target operating model for data management. The work covers the design of how the organisation manages data and the operating model needed to support that approach. It is a management consultancy requirement, classified under CPV 79411000 (general management consultancy services). The service is for The Guinness Partnership Limited, a public undertaking based in London, with delivery across the United Kingdom. This is relevant to consultancies that advise organisations on data strategy, data governance, operating-model design and the management arrangements needed to improve the use of data. The requirement is an organisational and strategic assignment rather than a supply of software, equipment or construction work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with one lot and an active contract. It was run as a below-threshold procurement. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed and started on 14 September 2026, with delivery scheduled to end on 30 October 2026. Its gross value is £114,000. The award covers the data strategy and target operating model services for data management. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract. The available procurement details do not set out an award date or a stated scoring basis, so the recorded outcome is principally defined by the completed below-threshold route, the selected consultancy and the agreed contract terms.

For a consultancy assessing future work with The Guinness Partnership, this procurement demonstrates a defined demand for data-management strategy and target operating-model development. A credible competitor would need consultants able to assess an organisation’s current data arrangements, set a practical data strategy and design the roles, governance and processes needed to operate it. Experience translating strategy into an implementable target operating model would be directly relevant, as would the ability to provide structured management consultancy advice to a large public undertaking. The selected supplier was a large professional-services firm, indicating that established consultancy capacity and the ability to assemble a suitably experienced team were relevant features of the successful offer.
