## Summary

The Natural History Museum commissioned interim project director consultancy for its CCE project. The role leads the project team, engages with customers and drives delivery to budget and schedule. It also works with stakeholders to shape the CCE’s long-term vision and oversees development and delivery of the product roadmap, with the aim of providing a leading customer experience and making the CCE the preferred content exchange for UK creative industries. The work is classified as business and management consultancy, including business analysis. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to UDAVEY LTD. The award is recorded as pending. The gross awarded value is £189,600, with a net value of £158,000. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 29 January 2027. The award date is 29 September 2026. The Natural History Museum used a direct award, citing the supplier’s established project role, specialist knowledge, continuity needs and the unforeseen vacancy in the Project Director role. The procurement had one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. The award record identifies a scheduled contract signature milestone of 13 October 2026 and a standstill period ending 12 October 2026.

For suppliers preparing for comparable CCE project consultancy, this award indicates that the Museum values continuity and detailed knowledge of the programme, alongside the ability to step into project leadership. A credible competitor would need to lead a multidisciplinary project team, engage customers and stakeholders, maintain delivery against budget and schedule, and shape a long-term product vision. Experience overseeing a product roadmap and improving customer experience would be directly relevant, particularly in the context of serving content owners across the UK creative industries. The successful supplier was an SME, and the single lot was designated suitable for SMEs, indicating that the requirement did not exclude smaller consultancies. Prior involvement with the project and the ability to preserve momentum were central to the buyer’s stated rationale.

### Procurement Information

Udavey Ltd is a long-established consultant on the project and possesses the detailed knowledge and expertise necessary to support the successful delivery of this additional requirement. The work builds directly on activities already completed and requires continuity of approach and understanding. Appointing an alternative supplier would result in programme delays, duplication of effort, and a loss of continuity, increasing delivery risk and reducing efficiency. The Project Director role will become vacant for the CCE in October 2026. This is an unforeseen vacancy. As Udavey Ltd has previously stepped into the Interim role during a period of medical leave, and with Udavey Ltd's unique background and knowledge, it will be critical to ensure the Project's continuity at a critical phase in its programme.
