Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA procured infrastructure works consultancy services for the CDF Lot 1 requirement titled “LNA ECC Supervisor and ECoW 2026-27”. The scope covers an ECC Supervisor and an ECoW, using the terminology in the requirement title. The work was associated with delivery in the West Midlands and also identifies DEFRA’s Seacole Building in London as a location. This is a specialist professional-services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction works. Businesses relevant to it are consultancies able to provide infrastructure-project supervision and ecological clerk of works services within the public-sector environment. The buying organisation was DEFRA, the UK government department responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Jacobs on 14 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value was £353,817.75 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 12 August 2026. The award is active. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was not divided into separately reported lots in the available outcome, and no separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting is stated.

This award shows DEFRA’s demand for specialist infrastructure consultancy combining ECC supervision with ecological clerk of works support. A credible future competitor would need the people and technical capability to oversee infrastructure works while providing ecological site oversight, and to coordinate those functions in a public-sector delivery setting. The requirement is suited to established specialist consultancies rather than generalist advisers, with sufficient organisational capacity to provide both disciplines as a combined service. Because the work was let as a framework call-off, relevant suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework route or a framework partner. Jacobs’ selection indicates that an integrated infrastructure and environmental delivery offer is commercially relevant to this buyer.
