Summary of the contracting process

The Defra Group Commercial recently completed a procurement process titled "Beeston Store Test Fit," which involved conducting a feasibility study to transition operational and laboratory equipment from the Brighouse Store to the Beeston Store in Leeds. Classified under construction consultancy services, this procurement falls within the services industry category and covers the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender entered the award stage with the contract being active as of 27th October 2025. The contract period spans from 1st October to 30th November 2025, with a total value of £24,523.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for construction consultancy firms specialising in feasibility studies and equipment integration. Businesses adept at ensuring compliance with Environment Agency standards and possessing experience within the specified region will find this contract particularly advantageous. Given that WSP UK Limited, a firm with a strong legal and operational framework, is already engaged as the supplier, businesses in similar sectors may seek to align with the Defra Group for future procurement opportunities that require operational restructuring and efficient space utilisation solutions. While this tender was not targeted at small or voluntary community sustainable enterprises, large consulting agencies will have the capacity and resources to compete for similar contracts in this domain.
