Summary of the contracting process

Defra commissioned construction consultancy services for the TE2100 FBS Stage 2 Options Reappraisal. The work provides planning, scoping advice and guidance for a large or mega-project options reappraisal team. It is focused on helping the project team define and plan its options reappraisal activity rather than delivering construction works. The service is to be delivered in Bristol and the South East of England. This is a professional advisory requirement for consultancies with experience supporting major infrastructure or environmental projects through options development, appraisal planning and project scoping. The procurement is categorised as services, with construction consultancy as the stated classification, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 5pm. Defra awarded the contract to Jacobs UK Ltd on 18 August 2026 for £130,361.95 excluding any additional amounts not stated in the procurement data. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded scope is the TE2100 FBS Stage 2 Options Reappraisal Scoping Support service. The award is active, and the recorded contract value matches the estimated tender value. The procurement was conducted as a services requirement rather than a works or goods purchase.

This award demonstrates demand from Defra for specialist consultancy support on major or mega-project options reappraisal, particularly at the stage where a project team needs its planning and scope defined. A credible future competitor would need to show practical experience advising infrastructure or environmental programmes, structuring options reappraisal work, and providing clear guidance to a project team. Capability in construction consultancy is relevant, but the requirement is advisory and strategic rather than site-based construction delivery. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework call-off route and demonstrate capacity for a focused assignment supporting a government project team. The buyer has identified this type of opportunity as suitable for SMEs.
