UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Westminster Foundation for Democracy Limited is undertaking an open tender process for a framework agreement titled "Safety and Security Advisory Services, Risk Management Support and Training." This opportunity targets the provision of services in safety consultancy under CPV code 79417000 and operates within the services category. Located in London, the procurement is primarily for sub-central government public authority requirements. The tender is at the active stage with key dates including the enquiry period ending on 27th July 2026 and the tender submission deadline set for 3rd August 2026. The framework will last four years starting from 1st October 2026, with individual call-off contracts awarded directly to a single selected supplier.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities particularly for firms specialising in safety and security consultancy, risk management, and training services. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing tailored advisory and support services. The procurement process employs an open competition method aimed at selecting a single supplier through comprehensive evaluation criteria, including a written evaluation, presentation, and interview stage. Winning this framework could potentially enhance a business's reputation and credibility, allowing it to build a strong portfolio of government-related services without the competition for each individual contract as requirements arise.
