Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), along with the Environment Agency (EA) and other Defra Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs), recently concluded a procurement process for ISO Audit and Certification Services. The contract, classified under internal audit services (CPV 79212200), was tendered through an open procedure and covers the entire UK. The procurement was handled via Defra's network eTendering Portal. The award, split into two main lots—Lot 1 for ISO 9001-14001 and Lot 2 for ISO 55001—was completed as of 4th November 2024, with Interface-NRM and BSI Assurance UK Ltd selected as suppliers for Lot 1 and Lot 2 respectively. Noteworthy dates include the signing of contracts on 24th October 2024 for Lot 1, and 1st November 2024 for Lot 2.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in audit and certification services, particularly those with expertise in ISO standards. As this procurement pertains to government bodies focused on environmental protection, businesses with a strong track record in maintaining high standards and contributing to social value will find themselves well-positioned. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Interface-NRM, awarded Lot 1, demonstrate that smaller firms with niche expertise can successfully compete in such tenders. Large firms, such as BSI Assurance UK Ltd, which was awarded Lot 2, also play a crucial role, highlighting that there is room for both ends of the business spectrum in contributing to public sector needs.
