Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA procured construction services for the NBC Coombelands Enabling Package at the Animal and Plant Health Agency site in Weybridge, Surrey. The work covers construction of two ASU buildings at Coombelands APHA Weybridge. It is a construction-led requirement within the services category, involving the delivery of new specialist buildings rather than the supply of standalone goods. The listed delivery location is the DEFRA site at Woodham Lane, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 3NB, within the South East of England. The requirement is associated with public-sector estate and laboratory infrastructure, so relevant businesses are those able to undertake building construction and associated enabling works in a controlled government-site environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. DEFRA used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 14 July 2026 to Willmott Dixon Construction Limited for £2,206,917.07 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. This outcome identifies a single successful supplier for the two-building construction requirement; the source records the procurement as a complete process rather than an opportunity currently progressing towards award.

This award demonstrates demand from DEFRA for substantial construction delivery at the APHA Weybridge estate, focused on specialist operational buildings. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to deliver a sizeable public-sector building package, manage enabling and construction activities on an occupied or controlled government site, and coordinate programme, design interfaces, health and safety, quality and handover requirements. Experience of framework call-offs and government or laboratory-related environments would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer expected a larger established construction organisation, or a prime contractor with the resources and delivery systems to manage the package.
