Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "THRE0050 - Futures Expertise Research Technical Advisors" was conducted by the Department for Transport (DfTc) in the United Kingdom, classified under the industry category of technical analysis or consultancy services with the CPV code 71621000. This contract, valued at £2,000,000, was awarded to Mott Macdonald Limited. The procurement was carried out using a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender stage has progressed to completion with the contract period set to commence on 2nd June 2025 and conclude on 1st June 2027. The contract covers various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technical consultancy and analysis, particularly those capable of providing expertise in multiple geographical regions as outlined in the tender. Although it was a call-off from a framework agreement, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were marked as suitable, indicating potential pathways for these businesses to engage in high-value government contracts. Larger firms like the awarded supplier, Mott Macdonald Limited, are also well-suited for such contracts due to the scale and scope required. Businesses that can demonstrate technical expertise and global reach stand to benefit most from opportunities such as this.
