Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs commissioned a strategic property review for Wallingford. The requirement is for professional services connected with property and construction, covering review and advisory work rather than physical construction delivery. The work is to be delivered in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, at postcode OX10 8BD. The procurement is categorised as services and uses the construction-related services classification (CPV 71500000). The buyer is a central government department, so the requirement is relevant to property consultancies, construction advisers and multidisciplinary firms able to assess public-sector property assets and provide strategic recommendations. The named supplier is WSP UK Ltd.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to WSP UK Ltd on 16 September 2025. The awarded value is £35,507 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 10 September 2025 to 14 July 2026. It was let through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender deadline on 1 September 2025 at 12:00. The opportunity was evaluated as a service requirement for a strategic property review. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £35,507. The process recorded the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement from Defra for strategic property review expertise in Wallingford, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience in property strategy, asset review and construction-related advisory services, with the analytical capability to assess property needs and turn findings into clear recommendations. The buyer’s approach also indicates that access to an appropriate framework is commercially important. Because the requirement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger established consultancies or firms with sufficient organisational capacity, specialist staff and public-sector delivery experience are better placed to compete when comparable work returns to this buyer.
