The original MoReq was developed by a small team of consultants from Cornwell Management Consultants plc, an independent management consultancy based in the United Kingdom. The contract to produce the update, MoReq2, was also awarded to Cornwell in a competitive procurement by the European Commission. Cornwell was acquired by Serco during the MoReq2 development.

The consultants were supported by an Editorial Board and by panels of volunteer reviewers – see next question.
