UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), located in Banbury, United Kingdom, is overseeing a public procurement process titled "Water Roadmap Delivery Partner - GSI Spain." This procurement falls under the environmental engineering consultancy services category, focusing on projects in Doñana and Murcia, Spain. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with a contract period from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2027. This procurement method is a direct award to Good Stuff International B.V., reflecting the specialised nature of the project and the need for continuity during critical transition phases. The direct award rationale is based on ensuring ongoing momentum in the collective action project without causing disruption or risking stakeholder confidence.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy and project management, particularly those with expertise in water stewardship and sustainability initiatives. Companies with existing networks and partnerships in Spain, or those with a strategic interest in establishing operations in the region, would be well-suited to compete for potential future opportunities following the planned competitive tender in 2027. The current award to Good Stuff International B.V. highlights the importance of established local presence and specialised knowledge in securing contracts of this nature. Businesses looking to develop capabilities in these areas can position themselves for future tenders as WRAP advances towards a competitive re-procurement phase.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Water Roadmap Delivery Partner - GSI Spain

Notice Description

WRAP are currently delivering a large Collective Action Project in southern Spain, spanning Donana and Murcia. The project is managed by Good Stuff International (GSI), which has established a strong local network and generated significant momentum. Following the split of the Southern Spain programme into two distinct projects (Donana and Murcia) in April 2026, an additional delivery period is required to stabilise governance, embed delivery structures, and support the transition into two independently functioning Collective Action Projects. This period will also enable WRAP to strengthen the evidence base, demonstrate early impact, and secure longer-term funding commitments across both regions before undertaking a competitive tender for future delivery. A change in delivery partner at this stage would introduce disproportionate delivery, financial and reputational risk, including loss of stakeholder trust, disruption to ongoing activities, and duplication of mobilisation effort in a complex and sensitive operating environment. There is no reasonable alternative supplier that could deliver equivalent value within the required timeframe without incurring these risks. WRAP therefore proposes a time-bound continuation of delivery with GSI to maintain momentum and ensure continuity through this critical transition phase, with a view to undertaking a competitive tender during 2027 once the programme structure and funding position are more clearly defined.

Procurement Information

From a commercial / procurement perspective, a time-limited direct award to GSI for a period of up to 12 months is considered justified & proportionate under the principles of the PA23, on the basis that it secures continuity of a highly specialised, place-based service where competition in the short term would be unlikely to deliver equivalent value or outcomes. Commercial have been advised that GSI holds a uniquely embedded position within Spain's water stewardship landscape, with established delivery infrastructure, trusted local partnerships, and alignment with parallel programmes that collectively underpin the success of the Collective Action Project; these characteristics are not readily transferable or replicable without significant time, cost, and risk to delivery. Introducing a new supplier at this stage would likely result in material disruption, duplication of mobilisation costs, and potential loss of co-funding and stakeholder confidence, thereby undermining value for money and programme impact. A 12-month direct award therefore represents a pragmatic interim measure that maintains delivery momentum while allowing WRAP to plan and undertake a compliant, competitive re-procurement for the longer-term solution (currently anticipated for 2027), ensuring alignment with transparency, proportionality, and responsible stewardship of funds.
