Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
This requirement has been awarded through RM 6187 Lot 3 – Complex and Transformation using the Direct Award procedure.
This approach is necessary due to only one supplier having been identified as capable of meeting the requirement of undertaking a deep-dive review of ongoing work programmes and developing strategic priorities and objectives.
The successful supplier is required to possess an in-depth knowledge of the Army Portfolio, and extant DE&S, Head Office and Front Line Command Management Information due to the potential impact upon the delivery of DE&S’ strategic aims.
The successful supplier is also required to have prior experience of providing this service to the MOD and Front Line Command, and in identifying potential business risks/issues specific to the Defence sector.
Therefore, KPMG were identified as the only supplier present within the Management Consultancy Framework Three (MCF3) Lot 3 capable of fulfilling the requirement, meaning that only the Direct Award approach was appropriate in this situation.
