Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed a procurement process for the 'Design and Delivery of a Service Framework and Service Blueprinting.' This tender, classified under general management consultancy services (CPV code 79411000), aims to support Network Environmental Services in developing a comprehensive service framework. The contract, valued at £649,206.60, involved a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement and covered delivery across various locations, including the UK and beyond. The opportunity was actively in the award stage as of 26 June 2026, with the contract period beginning on 15 June 2026 and concluding on 12 February 2027. The awarded supplier is KPMG LLP, with DEFRA listed as the buying organization located in London, UK.

This tender offers significant business potential for firms specialising in management consultancy, particularly those experienced in service framework design and service blueprinting. While the procurement method indicates a selective approach, businesses capable of delivering complex consultancy projects within the specified regions could find growth opportunities in similar government contracts. The involvement of a major consultancy firm like KPMG underscores the suitability for larger established entities rather than small or voluntary sector enterprises. Interested businesses should ensure they are part of relevant frameworks to engage with similar tenders.
