## Summary

The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) commissioned a time-limited organisational prioritisation review. The work is to help Ofwat refresh its priorities, identify activities to deprioritise or stop, and assess where organisational capacity and capability could be redeployed. This is business analysis and consultancy work, rather than a delivery or infrastructure contract. The buyer is Ofwat, based in Birmingham. The recorded delivery coverage spans England and Wales, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East and West Midlands, East and South East England, London, the South West and Wales.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Deloitte LLP. Ofwat used a limited competition below the applicable threshold, with one lot. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 13 October to 31 December 2026. Its stated value is £118,016 excluding VAT (£141,619.20 including VAT). The award is recorded as active. The procurement data does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so no evaluation basis can be reported.

This award shows demand from Ofwat for focused organisational review and business analysis consultancy: refreshing priorities, identifying work to stop or reduce, and assessing how staff capacity and organisational capability can be redeployed. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to assess an organisation’s activities and priorities, develop evidence-based recommendations, and identify practical options for reallocating resources. The time-limited scope points to a need to deliver a concentrated review within a short engagement, rather than provide ongoing operational support. Deloitte LLP, a large supplier, was selected through limited competition, indicating that the buyer has used a restricted route for this assignment. Suppliers with relevant public-sector consultancy experience and the capacity to deliver this kind of organisation-wide review would be well placed to compete if Ofwat buys the same requirement again.

## Notice

The Supplier shall provide a time-limited organisational prioritisation review to support Ofwat to refresh its priorities, identify activities that should be deprioritised or ceased, and assess opportunities to redeploy capacity and capability across the organisation.
