Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by Defra, involves a tender titled "Vermin Control and Badger Mitigation" within the infrastructure works consultancy services category. The tender is being conducted under a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process is set in the region of East of England, with operations based in Peterborough, United Kingdom. It involves significant dates, with the opportunity notice published on 1st December 2025, and the tender period closing earlier on 3rd November 2025. The contract period is intended to span from 17th November 2025 to 20th November 2026. With a project value of £273,954.82, it offers substantial engagement for suppliers in infrastructure consultancy.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in infrastructure works consultancy. Given the project's selective method of procurement, businesses keen to engage would benefit from prior inclusion in relevant framework agreements. Whilst the tender does not explicitly target SMEs or VCSEs, larger consultancies with expertise in environmental management and pest control within the infrastructure sector may find it particularly lucrative. Providers with capacity and experience in regional projects, specifically in the East of England, will likely possess a competitive advantage. By engaging with such opportunities, businesses can expand their portfolios and strengthen networks with key governmental bodies like Defra.
