## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) procured specialist management consultancy to support delivery of the EU Reset Programme, a complex, multi-year government programme with strategic commitments affecting government and British businesses. The work addresses delivery risks arising from the delay to the UK–EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement. Defra’s delivery timetable, including work across the department, its arm’s-length bodies and other government departments, needed rapid review because of uncertainty and misalignment. The consultancy was intended to help secure agreement to a revised schedule from senior responsible owners balancing limited budgets and competing priorities. The work is UK-wide; the procurement identifies the United Kingdom as the delivery location.

The procurement is complete and Strat-Edgy LLP was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The stated award value is £36,000 excluding VAT (£43,200 including VAT). The contract period runs from 12 October to 1 December 2026, with signature scheduled for 9 October 2026. The opportunity was a single lot. The award record is marked pending, while the tender and lot are marked complete. The procurement data describes the requirement and award but gives no separate evaluation criteria or award rationale. The award date is not stated; the date of publication of the transparency notice is 28 September 2026.

This award shows Defra’s demand for senior-level programme delivery consultancy on complex, cross-government work linked to the EU Reset and the UK–EU SPS Agreement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to assess delivery risks quickly, review and realign a programme schedule, and build commitment among senior responsible owners across a department, its arm’s-length bodies and other government departments. Experience working through policy uncertainty, tight budgets and competing delivery priorities would be directly relevant. The selected supplier is a consultancy, and the work was bought through a direct award below the applicable threshold rather than a competition. The requirement is focused on strategic programme delivery support, not general consultancy unrelated to Defra’s EU Reset portfolio.

## Notice

Specialist consultancy to address delivery risks in relation to the EU Reset Programme, a major government programme under the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA). The EU Reset Programme is a highly complex, multi-year undertaking addressing key strategic deliverables for HMG and British businesses. The delay to the entry into force of the UK-EU SPS Agreement has generated high levels of uncertainty and means that the delivery schedule across Defra, its ALBs and other Government Departments is misaligned. The delivery schedule requires rapid review and buy in to the new schedule is required from key delivery SROs, who are working within time limited budgets and at times against competing delivery agendas.
