Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, based in the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, Swindon, has completed a procurement process titled "Professional Technical Services to Support Exit of 2x FM Contracts." This project falls under the services category and involves the provision of professional organisational services. The procurement, executed through a call-off from the Scape National Consultancy Framework, targets the management and exit from two Facility Management contracts. Conducted using a selective procurement method, the tender reached its award stage on 14 January 2026, with the contract set to run until 31 August 2028. The primary location for service delivery is the South West of England, with a contract value of £500,000 GBP. The award was granted to Perfect Circle, a large-scale organisation, to aid in the asset management approach for the Defence Academy exit programme.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in professional technical services, especially those equipped to handle large-scale contracts in the public sector. Companies specialising in strategic asset management and consultancy, with experience in framework agreements, could find ample opportunities in such contracts. Although the tender did not specify suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, it provides a notable example of collaboration for enterprises capable of delivering specialised services to substantial governmental projects. Perfect Circle's involvement underscores the scope for large-capacity organisations to expand their portfolios by engaging in complex, government-related consultancy services.
