Summary of the contracting process

The Westminster Foundation for Democracy Limited is procuring safety and security advisory services, risk management support and training. The requirement covers specialist consultancy and practical support commissioned through individual call-off contracts as needs arise. It will be delivered through a single-supplier framework agreement, with the appointed provider working directly with the Foundation on each call-off’s scope, deliverables, timescales and prices. The buyer is based in London. The main work category is safety consultancy services. This opportunity suits providers that can combine safety and security advice with risk management expertise and training capability, rather than suppliers offering only a single advice or training service. The arrangement is intended to support the Foundation’s operational requirements over a multi-year period.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a closed framework with one supplier and no reopening of competition; call-offs will be awarded directly as requirements arise. The tender enquiry deadline was 27 July 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline is 3 August 2026 at 23:59. The framework contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Its maximum stated gross value is £35,000 including taxes. Tenders must be submitted by email to procurement@wfd.org. Written tenders will be assessed against the published evaluation criteria; the three highest-scoring bidders will be invited to presentations and interviews, which will contribute to the final evaluation. The highest-scoring bidder is intended for appointment, subject to due diligence and completion of the award process.

This opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger specialist providers with suitably qualified and experienced staff in safety and security advisory work, risk management support and training. A strong bidder will need to provide a compliant tender using the Invitation to Tender and Tender Response Form, then demonstrate its approach through a presentation and interview if shortlisted among the three highest-scoring written submissions. The successful supplier must complete the Foundation’s due diligence process satisfactorily before appointment. Because the framework has a single provider and call-offs are awarded directly, the appointed supplier should be able to respond across the full service scope, agree deliverables and timescales, and price individual assignments in line with the framework terms.
