Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) recently completed the procurement process for professional services to support various projects, with the contract awarded to AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited. This selective procurement was carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement, focusing on design consultancy services within the professional services industry category. The contract value stands at £157,788.80, and the contract period began on 10th March 2025, running through to 10th March 2026. The principal locations covered include the UK, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in design consultancy services, particularly those with a proven track record in providing professional support for large-scale projects. Despite its focus on a larger supplier like AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited, other firms adept in consultancy and project support could find similar opportunities within DEFRA or other governmental organisations. The project involves national and international locations, making it well-suited for businesses seeking to expand their geographical footprint while gaining credibility through governmental assignments. The successful bidder was chosen based on a selective procurement method, providing a structured yet competitive environment for qualified companies.
