Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office is buying monitoring and evaluation consultancy to assess the impact and benefits of its activities and support future decisions about priorities. The supplier is expected to understand the Office’s work and requirements, design an approach suited to those needs, and carry out an initial assessment after the end of financial year 2026/27. The work is associated with the Office in Taunton, England. This is a professional evaluation and performance-monitoring service rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to London Economics International (UK) Limited. The award was made on 24 September 2026, for £118,018. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The requirement was procured selectively as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender deadline was 11 September 2026 at 17:00. The published information gives no separate lot structure or award-scoring criteria; the requirement was for one monitoring and evaluation approach and an initial assessment.

This award shows that the UK Hydrographic Office buys specialist consultancy to build a practical monitoring and evaluation framework, assess the effects and benefits of its work, and provide evidence for future prioritisation. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need strong evaluation and analytical capability, experience translating an organisation’s objectives and activities into fit-for-purpose monitoring methods, and the capacity to carry out an initial assessment as well as support routine performance monitoring. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs. The call-off route through a dynamic purchasing system is relevant to firms tracking this buyer’s consultancy needs: credible suppliers should be positioned to participate in that purchasing route when a similar requirement arises.
