Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Lowestoft Windows replacement RIBA 5 to 7" project, managed by Defra, has reached the award stage as of 20th March 2026. This contract, classified under CPV code 79930000 as specialty design services, required a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £72,659, covers services to be rendered in the East of England, specifically in Lowestoft (postal code NR33 0HT). The process concluded with an award to WSP UK Limited, with the service period extending from 1st March to 30th September 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for firms specializing in specialty design services, particularly those capable of executing complex design and replacement projects. However, it does not specifically favour SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting suitability for larger, established companies like WSP UK Limited, which was awarded the contract. Businesses experienced in framework agreements and capable of delivering quality services within defined timeframes would find such procurements conducive to scaling operations within the UK market.
