Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defra bought client support services under its South East framework lot. The procurement is classified as project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000), and is a service requirement. Delivery is associated with Bristol and the South East of England. The title identifies the work as client support services, but the release provides no further description of the activities or outputs. The buyer is Defra; the awarded supplier is Turner & Townsend Infrastructure Limited.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Turner & Townsend Infrastructure Limited on 15 September 2026. The award value is £913,499.19. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 September 2027. The estimated tender value is also £913,499.19. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with a tender submission deadline of 4 June 2026 at 5pm. The procurement concerns one framework lot, identified as lot 9c. The published data records the process as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It does not set out a separate evaluation criterion or weighting.

For suppliers considering similar future client-support requirements from Defra, this award demonstrates demand for project management consultancy delivered through a framework call-off in the South East, with work associated with Bristol. A credible competitor would need to show it can provide the client support services required by Defra and operate effectively within the relevant framework route. The chosen supplier was Turner & Townsend Infrastructure Limited. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer treated this requirement as requiring a supplier profile or capacity beyond those categories. The scope details are limited, so the strongest evidence of the capability sought is the stated client-support and project-management consultancy classification.
