Cases / Privy Council Office
Case study
How Privy Council Office actually buys
Central agency operations — small volume, high no-tender share.
Direct awards dominate here. 55.5% of this buyer's contracts skip competition. The play is positioning one re-compete cycle early — study the direct-award grounds in their published record and be the named supplier before the next one is written.
Award sizes suit small and mid-size firms: many contracts, fast cycles, and responsiveness beats depth in most of them.
