Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), based in London, has completed a contractual award for the project titled "FNPP - Commercial Transition Finalisation." This procurement falls under the services industry category and involves commercial support to finalize transition activities. The procurement process was undertaken directly below the threshold without competition, and the contract was awarded to Investigo Limited. The contract commenced on 1st October 2025 and is set to conclude on 19th December 2025, with the potential to extend up to June 2026. The contract is valued at £42,000 with a gross amount of £50,400, and it was formally signed on 12th September 2025.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in commercial services to engage with central government projects. Although the procurement method was direct, similar future opportunities could arise, especially for companies able to provide specialised transition support services. Large businesses like Investigo Limited, with expertise in addressing such specific needs, are well-placed to compete for comparable tenders. This contract not only strengthens a supplier's portfolio in collaborating with public sector clients but also establishes a pathway for growth through government engagement and enhanced visibility in the public procurement domain.
