Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office, a central government public authority located in Taunton, has completed a procurement process for a consultancy service titled "Primary Charting Authority Portfolio Review." This process aimed to evaluate the development activities conducted within this remit. The procurement followed a limited method, falling under the threshold for competition, and concluded with an active contract award dated 5th June 2025. The contract period extends from 9th June 2025 to 31st October 2025. This tender was part of the services industry category, focusing on business and management consultancy and related services, with the consultancy work to be delivered in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in business and management consultancy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it underscores the need for specialised expertise in evaluating organisational development practices. With a gross contract value of £59,760, companies positioned within this domain may find similar opportunities to grow their business through engagements with government organisations. Given the nature of limited competition procurement, businesses that have previously worked with governmental agencies or have niche expertise in chartering authority reviews would likely be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
