Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has awarded a contract for the project titled "RDE797 - DEFRA group TNFD research and implementation." This contract pertains to the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV 73200000) and involves implementing the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures framework for DEFRA. The procurement process was carried out using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Although the tender process concluded in the planning stage on 29th April 2025, the contract period extends from 30th April 2025 to 30th July 2025, covering multiple delivery locations, including the UK, the British Oversea Territories, and beyond.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses engaged in consultancy services focused on research and development. While the procurement process might be less suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger consulting firms or those with specialised expertise in environmental and financial frameworks can benefit significantly. ICF Consulting Services Limited, having been awarded the contract, exemplifies the type of organisation equipped to leverage such opportunities for business growth. Companies with a robust track record in similar frameworks or environmental consulting within a global or UK-centric context would find this category highly relevant for potential bidding and partnership development in future tenders.
