Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office has completed a procurement process titled "Facilities Management Support 25-27," focused on procuring services in the facilities management sector. This initiative, conducted in Taunton, UK, involved an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting its classification under CPV code 79993100. The contract was finalised on 21st November 2025, with a total value of £250,000 GBP. Although the procurement method was limited and fell outside the directive's typical application scope, it involved a framework agreement allowing for direct award call-offs, resulting in an active contract awarded to Ridge Associates LLP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in facilities management services, particularly those capable of engaging directly with framework agreements. Large-scale businesses that can offer competitive services without the need for an open competition process could find similar future opportunities advantageous for expansion and revenue growth. As the procurement was concluded with a direct award, companies with the capability and credentials to partner directly with governmental bodies like the UK Hydrographic Office might benefit from pursuing such targeted, direct-engagement opportunities.
