Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defra Group Commercial procured decarbonisation studies as a professional construction consultancy service. The work concerns assessing and advising on measures to reduce carbon emissions, within the wider construction and estate environment. Delivery is associated with York and the South West, with the requirement also covering the United Kingdom and locations described broadly as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man and elsewhere. The buyer is Defra Group Commercial, based in London. This is a consultancy opportunity rather than a construction works contract or supply of physical goods. Businesses with relevant expertise in decarbonisation assessment, construction advice, energy or carbon reduction planning may find the requirement aligned with their services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at noon. The contract was awarded on 18 August 2026 to WSP UK Limited for £24,300, and runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is active. The opportunity was classified as construction consultancy services, with services as the main procurement category. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The award outcome indicates that the requirement was placed through an existing framework rather than an unrestricted competition.

This award provides a clear example of Defra Group Commercial’s demand for focused decarbonisation consultancy delivered through a framework call-off. Competitors preparing for similar requirements should be able to carry out construction-related carbon and decarbonisation studies, turn technical analysis into practical recommendations, and work across geographically dispersed public-sector assets or locations. Credibility is likely to depend on demonstrable experience in construction consultancy and carbon-reduction studies, with the ability to produce clear, defensible advice for a government client. The procurement route also matters: suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework or a place on an equivalent framework. The stated SME suitability suggests the buyer is looking towards established organisations with appropriate specialist capacity and public-sector delivery experience.
