Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has awarded a contract for the Thames Capital Reconditioning Civils Package 2025/26, which involves detailed design services within the civil engineering industry. The procurement process, completed under a call-off from a framework agreement, represents the award stage, with the contract active from 2 February to 2 June 2026. The project is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with a project value of £93,088 GBP. The engineering design service aims to cater to the construction requirements in civil engineering works, aligning with CPV classification 71322000, and promises opportunities particularly for small and medium enterprises, while not targeting voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This public procurement offers potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering design services. With Jacobs UK Ltd selected as the supplier, other similar entities can anticipate future opportunities by engaging with Defra's framework agreements. Suitable primarily for small to medium enterprises, these contracts provide SMEs a chance to expand their portfolio within governmental projects, thereby leveraging their expertise in detailed design for civil construction works. Moreover, businesses based in the South East of the UK can benefit from logistics ease due to the project's geographical focus. As SMEs often possess agility and specialised skills, they are well-positioned to compete in selective procurement processes like this, thereby enhancing their market presence and growth potential.
