UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Library, acting as the central government public authority, initiated a procurement process for flood defence support services for its St Pancras site extension in London. The tender, titled "002632 Flood Defence Support Services," falls within the services category, specifically targeting infrastructure works consultancy services. The procurement process followed a limited competition method, considered below threshold, and has now reached the award stage. The contract was awarded on 29th July 2025, and the services commenced on 11th August 2025, with completion expected by 31st March 2026, and a potential one-year extension. The services are to be delivered across various UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in infrastructure consultancy services and have the capacity to assist in flood defence projects. Large-scale consulting firms, similar to the successful supplier, ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED, would likely find this tender particularly suitable, given their resources and experience in handling similar projects.
