## Summary

The Government Commercial Agency procured a commercial finance service to evaluate Financial Viability Risk Assessment (FVRA) reports. The requirement is assessment of financial viability risk reports for the agency, rather than general payroll management, despite the associated classification. The work is for a central government buyer and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was organised as a single lot and awarded to one supplier. This is a specialist professional service for businesses with the ability to assess financial information and produce evaluations of supplier viability and risk for government commercial decisions.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. ARVATO LIMITED was selected through an award under a framework, using a selective procedure; the call-off was not competitive. The award was made on 3 June 2026. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with one optional extension of up to 12 months, potentially extending the period to 30 June 2028. The contract value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT (£2,400,000 including VAT). The procurement comprised one lot. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are provided in the published process data.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates Government Commercial Agency demand for specialist evaluation of Financial Viability Risk Assessment reports, delivered through a framework route. A credible competitor would need experienced financial analysts able to assess business viability and risk consistently, interpret financial evidence, and produce clear, reliable evaluations that support commercial decisions. The work is a substantial, focused service requirement suited to a supplier with enough skilled capacity to manage report volumes and maintain dependable quality throughout delivery. Experience providing comparable financial risk assessments to public-sector commercial teams would be relevant. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, showing that this requirement was not confined to the largest providers; a suitably capable smaller firm may also be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns to market.
