Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), located in London, has completed a procurement process titled "RDE807 - Data insights for the circular economy" under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services. This tender was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 23rd June 2025 to 23rd October 2025, following the award on 17th June 2025. The total contract value amounts to £114,995 GBP and involves services to be delivered across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the UK.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development consultancy, particularly those with expertise in circular economy strategies. The framework approach indicates that businesses already part of Defra's framework can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings. While not directly suitable for SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSE), larger consultancy firms with comprehensive research capabilities like ICF Consulting Services Limited, the awarded supplier, are well-positioned to compete. This contract could enable such firms to enhance their portfolio and acquire valuable insights into sustainable economic practices.
