Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defra bought client support services for work in the South East, classified as project management consultancy. The requirement is described as client support rather than a more detailed breakdown of tasks. The supplier is to deliver the services in the South East, with Bristol also identified as a delivery location. This is a service requirement for Defra, the government department responsible for the procurement. The contract was called off from a framework agreement covering this client support lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to WSP UK Limited. Defra used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated award value is £258,204.23. The award was made on 18 September 2026. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender deadline was 4 June 2026 at 5pm. The purchase is identified as a single client support requirement; no separate lot awards are reported. The published procurement information does not describe evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the basis on which WSP was selected is not available here.

This award shows that Defra procures client support and project management consultancy for work in the South East through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity and relevant consultancy expertise to support Defra’s client-side work and deliver across the stated location. The contract is a relatively focused, time-limited service engagement rather than a large-scale programme, so suppliers should be able to resource a defined assignment and operate within a framework-based purchasing route. WSP UK Limited was selected for this requirement, providing a market reference for the type of consultancy supplier Defra has used. The published requirement does not set out specific accreditations, technical qualifications or minimum experience thresholds.
