Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs commissioned decarbonisation studies for the Cefas Weymouth site. The requirement is for construction consultancy services, covering work associated with assessing or planning decarbonisation measures. Delivery is connected to Weymouth, with the procurement also identifying locations in the South East and South West of England and a postal address in York. The buyer is Defra, and the service category is consultancy supporting construction and decarbonisation decisions. This is a focused professional-services requirement rather than construction works or the supply of equipment. It is relevant to firms that advise on building, estate or infrastructure decarbonisation and can produce the associated technical studies for a public-sector estate.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to WSP UK Limited on 1 September 2026 for £24,300 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. Defra recorded the requirement as a service procurement, with the evaluation conducted through the framework call-off route. The awarded value and period apply to WSP UK Limited’s delivery of the Cefas Weymouth decarbonisation study requirement.

This award is evidence that Defra purchases targeted decarbonisation consultancy for its operational estate through framework call-offs. A competitor seeking similar work would need a credible construction consultancy practice with specific capability in building or estate decarbonisation studies, including assessing existing assets, identifying practical carbon-reduction measures and presenting technically sound recommendations. The requirement is suited to an established specialist able to mobilise consultants and complete a defined study within a short delivery window. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that future competitors should be prepared to meet the capacity and organisational scale expected for this buyer’s framework-based professional-services work. Experience of public-sector estates would strengthen credibility, although no specific accreditation is stated.
