Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs commissioned feasibility services for Workington. The requirement is identified as construction-related services, indicating an assessment connected with construction rather than delivery of construction works themselves. The listed service is associated with Workington in North West England. The procurement record gives no further description of the feasibility study’s subject, tasks or intended outputs, so its precise technical scope cannot be established from the published details. For suppliers, the relevant area is consultancy or professional services capable of undertaking feasibility work linked to construction in Workington, rather than general building works. The buyer is the department responsible for the requirement; the selected supplier is WSP UK Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to WSP UK Ltd on 28 September 2026. The award value is £26,537.35. The contract period runs from 10 August to 27 November 2026. The estimated tender value was also £26,537.35. The buyer used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The published details do not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, and no lots are recorded. This was therefore a framework call-off for one feasibility requirement, with WSP UK Ltd selected and an award made; the stated contract dates cover the delivery period.

This award shows that Defra buys discrete, construction-related feasibility services for Workington through a framework call-off. WSP UK Ltd was selected, providing a concrete example of the supplier appointed for this requirement. Businesses competing for comparable work for this buyer would need to demonstrate relevant feasibility and construction-related professional services capability, and the ability to deliver a focused assignment in Workington. The procurement is recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses should treat it as a requirement positioned outside those supplier categories. No particular accreditation, technical discipline, staffing level or prior experience is stated, and none can be inferred from the supplier’s selection. The commercial fit is strongest for firms able to undertake short, location-specific feasibility commissions through the relevant framework route.
