Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "ETAFFFASNational02" was carried out by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), focusing on the environmental issues consultancy services industry. The procurement, classified under CPV code 90713000, involved providing consultancy services across various regions in the United Kingdom, including the East Midlands, East of England, London, and others. The tender process was selective and utilised a call-off from a framework agreement. It reached the award stage on 3rd March 2026, with the contract period running from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The total value of the contract is GBP 229,565.21, and the contract has been awarded to Ricardo-AEA Ltd.

This procurement presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive solutions across multiple locations in the UK. While the contract has been awarded to Ricardo-AEA Ltd, similar tenders could benefit firms with robust experience in environmental consultancy, infrastructure, and sustainability practices. Large enterprises that are able to manage a range of complex projects and provide high-level advisory services would be ideally suited to compete in this type of procurement process. With Defra as the contracting authority, successful engagement in such projects could enhance a business's profile and create further opportunities within governmental and regulatory frameworks.
