    Brief

    This opportunity invites participation in targeted red team exercises across select government departments to identify regulatory inefficiencies and accelerate progress toward reducing administrative burden. Red teams will work to uncover untapped potential for streamlining processes, identify evidence gaps in current regulations, and pinpoint high-impact regulatory reform opportunities that align with the government's regulation action plan. Successful delivery will help HMG (Her Majesty's Government) progress further regulatory reforms and focus efforts on areas with the greatest potential for positive impact. This is an ideal opportunity for organizations with expertise in regulatory analysis, process improvement, and government administration.
