The UK Government has awarded a contract worth up to £456m to consultancy companies KPMG and EY to train civil servants, the Financial Times (FT) reported, citing data from government procurement tracker Tussell.
Under the arrangement, EY and KPMG will train officials across various skills areas including AI between 2026 and 2028.
The deal is said to be the largest single contract awarded to 'Big Four' companies since Tussell started tracking records in 2012.
The previous record was a £322m deal between the Foreign Office and PricewaterhouseCoopers, signed in 2012.
KPMG's share of the contract is capped at £319m. The figure represents almost a quarter of the company's total UK advisory net sales from last year.
