CALL TO ACTION
Are you a leader in the fields of specialist legal services, economic modelling, forensic accounting, or public sector risk assurance? Through our investigation, we have identified systemic administrative failures and market vulnerabilities at the heart of the UK’s public financial management. This has created a new and urgent demand for highly specialised advisory and audit services that go far beyond standard consultancy. We are building a unique, multi-disciplinary consortium to deliver these innovative solutions directly to public bodies, helping them manage fiscal risk, enhance transparency, and protect the taxpayer from market abuse. This is an unparalleled opportunity to join a collaborative venture that will bid for and win significant public sector contracts by offering expertise that is precisely tailored to solving the government’s most complex and pressing challenges. If your firm possesses the high-calibre skills needed to be part of this groundbreaking initiative, we invite you to contact us to explore becoming a key partner in our consortium.
UK TENDERS
Of course. Based on a more granular search of the UK’s public procurement portals and opportunities, I can provide greater detail on the specific types of public tenders where our unique knowledge and proposed solutions give us a significant advantage. Our strategy will be to position COCOO not as a generic consultant, but as a specialist provider with unparalleled insight into the specific market failures and administrative risks we have uncovered, participating either as a direct supplier or as an expert mediator.
A key opportunity lies within the large-scale professional services frameworks managed by the Crown Commercial Service, or CCS. One of the most relevant is the Management Consultancy Framework. While broad, this framework is divided into specific service areas, or “lots”. Our expertise is a perfect fit for lots related to “Finance,” “Risk & Assurance,” and “Complex Transformation.” Under the Finance lot, we could propose a unique service to audit and model the fiscal risks associated with the government’s debt structure, focusing specifically on the impact of index-linked gilts and the costs of Quantitative Tightening—areas standard consultants may overlook. For the Risk & Assurance lot, we can offer a specialised “fiscal accountability audit,” using the failings of the Whole of Government Accounts as a case study to provide other departments with a pathway to more robust and transparent financial reporting. These frameworks are periodically renewed, and our immediate task would be to prepare our consortium to bid for a place on the next iteration.
An even more direct route is the Legal Services Panel. This is the primary framework through which all government departments procure external legal advice and litigation services. Within this panel, there are specific lots for “Competition Law” and “Complex Civil Litigation.” Here, our advantage is overwhelming. We can approach a public body, such as the DMO or HM Treasury, with a fully-formed proposal to act on its behalf in a follow-on damages claim against the Gilt-Edged Market Makers cartel. We would offer to work on a conditional or damages-based fee arrangement, eliminating the cost risk for the taxpayer. Our privileged knowledge of the infringement allows us to offer a service that no other law firm can currently match in its focus and preparation. The time limit for this would be tied to the renewal of the panel, which is publicly announced on the government’s procurement portals.
For a more immediate entry point, we should focus on the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Audit and Risk Advisory Services. The crucial advantage of a DPS is that new suppliers can apply to join at any time, meaning there is no fixed deadline for entry. This is an ideal vehicle for our services. We would register on the DPS and, once approved, we could be invited to bid on specific “call-off” contracts from public bodies seeking specialist audit functions. We could, for example, respond to a request for a forensic audit of a procurement process by offering our unique insights into identifying and mitigating risks of collusion and bid-rigging.
Finally, we can leverage our expertise in a mediatory capacity. The government periodically tenders for providers of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Mediation Services. With our deep understanding of the harms suffered by consumers and businesses, and our unique insight into the administrative failings and legal vulnerabilities of the public sector, we are uniquely placed to act as an expert mediator. We could facilitate settlements in complex disputes where public interest and market failure are at stake, offering a credible and informed pathway to resolution that avoids protracted and costly litigation. Our proposal for these tenders would highlight our ability to bridge the gap between public bodies and those harmed by market or administrative failures, making us a highly attractive candidate.
The file on the UK constitution reinforces the fundamental principles of parliamentary sovereignty and the separation of powers. It underscores the concept that government ministers are accountable to Parliament, not the courts, for high-level policy decisions. However, it also illuminates the principle that no power is absolute and that all public bodies must act lawfully, rationally, and within the scope of their authority. I extracted this because it sharpens the focus of our tort claim. We will frame our Unsolicited Proposal not as a challenge to legitimate political policy, but as a solution to ensure that the administration of that policy adheres to these fundamental constitutional principles of lawful and rational conduct, thereby protecting the public interest.
My search of the UK’s tender portals, including Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender service, reveals that while there are no current tenders explicitly asking for solutions to “challenge national debt levels,” there are several ongoing procurement frameworks that are highly relevant to the services we have developed. The most promising opportunities lie not in specific, one-off contracts, but in gaining a place on the major professional services frameworks through which the government procures legal, financial, and audit expertise. This is the most effective route for our consortium to engage.
Specifically, I have identified two key types of recurring procurement opportunities. The first is the Legal Services Panel, a framework agreement used by the Crown Commercial Service to source external legal advice and litigation support for all government departments. Our proposed service of litigating to recover damages from the Gilt-Edged Market Makers cartel fits squarely within the scope of this framework. By forming a consortium of legal experts and economic advisors, we can bid for a place on this panel when it next comes up for renewal. This would make us an approved supplier, eligible to be instructed by public bodies—or indeed to propose to a body like the DMO that we act on its behalf to recover the taxpayer losses it suffered from the cartel.
The second, and perhaps more immediately accessible, opportunity is the Audit and Risk Advisory Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A DPS is a flexible framework that, crucially, allows new suppliers to apply to join at any point during its lifetime. This is an ideal entry point for us. Our proposed service of auditing the government’s fiscal risk management processes—for example, analysing the risk exposure from index-linked gilts or providing assurance on transparent accounting—is precisely the kind of specialist service procured through this system. By gaining a place on this DPS, we can offer our unique expertise to a range of public bodies, helping them identify and mitigate the very administrative failings our tort claim is founded upon. There is no hard deadline for joining a DPS, which provides us with the flexibility to prepare a high-quality application.
Therefore, our strategy should be to package our solutions to fit these existing procurement channels. We will prepare to bid for a place on the next iteration of the Legal Services Panel. More immediately, we will compile the necessary documentation to join the Audit and Risk Advisory Services DPS. Success in these areas would formally accredit our consortium as a government supplier, transforming our Unsolicited Proposal into a direct, pre-approved solution that public bodies can readily procure. This positions us not as outside challengers, but as expert partners with the knowledge assets required to solve the critical problems of market failure and administrative risk that are costing the UK taxpayer dearly
