    Brief

    The STEP Programme requires independent verification and validation (V&V) of its first whole programme cost estimate, which will be submitted to HM Treasury in early Q4 2026. UK Financial Expressions (UKFE) is seeking to appoint an external party to conduct this V&V activity in accordance with the UK Government 5 case model, specifically following Finance Case standards. This engagement will support the government submission and establish best practice for future cost estimate iterations. The procurement was conducted through the MCF4 Framework (Lot 3), ensuring transparency and equal treatment of all bidders.
