Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defra Commercial procured one Chartered Surveyor Degree Level 6 apprenticeship or training programme under standard ST0331. The requirement is an education and training service for a learner working towards chartered surveyor status. The buying organisation is Defra Commercial, based at 17 Smith Square, London. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world, with London also identified through the buyer’s address. This is a professional development requirement rather than a construction or surveying works contract: the supplier provides the degree-level education and training associated with the chartered surveyor standard. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. Defra Commercial awarded the contract to UCEM trading as University of the Built Environment on 10 September 2026. The awarded value is £27,000. The awarded contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 September 2031. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for education and training, with the published process using a direct rather than open or competitive tender route. One supplier was selected for the single requirement. The award is active, and the contracting process records the tender as complete.

This outcome is relevant to universities, higher-education providers, apprenticeship organisations and specialist professional training businesses that deliver Chartered Surveyor Degree Level 6 ST0331 programmes. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to provide the specified surveying qualification route, support a learner through degree-level study and professional development, and operate across the broad delivery coverage described for the requirement. The successful supplier shows that Defra Commercial used a specialist education provider rather than a general training contractor. Organisations that combine recognised built-environment teaching with structured learner support, public-sector account management and the capacity to deliver a long-duration professional programme would be well placed when this type of requirement returns. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs also indicates that smaller specialist providers may be relevant competitors.
