Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "PS25207 - Survey of Onshore Wind Impacts on Aviation and Defence" was managed by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The tender, classified under the CPV code 73000000, pertains to research and development services, specifically focusing on the interaction between onshore wind deployment and its effects on aviation and defence sectors across Great Britain. Frazer-Nash Consultancy Limited, a large-scale business, was awarded the contract on 27th November 2025, with the contract lasting from 1st December 2025 to 31st March 2026. This procurement was part of a mini competition under the RM6126 Research & Insights Framework using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in consultancy and research within the renewable energy sector, particularly those that can analyse the impacts of infrastructure on national defence systems. While Frazer-Nash Consultancy Limited, a large and already established company, has been awarded this tender, the process indicates a market demand for focused expertise in evaluating the ramifications of renewable energy projects. This could be particularly advantageous for SMEs with niche capabilities in related consultancy services, although this particular award does not include provisions specifically tailored for VCSEs. Firms capable of delivering robust, actionable evidence as required by contracts like this one may find enhanced opportunities for future government projects.
