About

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government awarded a contract modification to PA Consulting Services Limited for strategic consultancy support to the UK Freeports Programme.

The original contract, awarded under Crown Commercial Services Management Consultancy 2 Framework (RM 6008) Lot 1, engaged a multi-disciplinary partner to provide challenge and strategic advice to improve the quality and delivery of Freeports plans and proposals across four functions: strategic advice, shared products and learning, programme support and advice, and a troubleshooting draw-down service.

This modification, made under regulations 72(1)(b) and 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, extends support through March 2026, including technical assistance for the Scottish Green Freeports and Welsh Freeports and continued programme management support and advice, particularly to support site financing and unlock complex tax sites.

The modification increases the total contract value by £1,246,245 (ex VAT), from £12,242,317 (ex VAT) to £13,488,562 (ex VAT).
