Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government sought an external consultant or supplier to provide the secretariat function for Aggregate Working Parties, under Lot 5. The work requires in-depth knowledge of the role and activities of Aggregate Working Parties, together with the ability to mobilise resources quickly and operate the secretariat effectively. This is a professional services requirement combining general management consultancy with environmental services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, including locations in the UKJ area. The buyer is a central government department based in London. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is Capita Property and Infrastructure Ltd, a large organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Capita Property and Infrastructure Ltd on 28 July 2026. The award value is £88,415 excluding VAT, or £106,098 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 August 2026 to 2 August 2028, with an optional 12-month extension available to 2 August 2029. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The requirement was evaluated and awarded through that procedure rather than an open tender. The award relates to one lot, covering the Aggregate Working Parties Secretariat function. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 7 August 2026.

This procurement indicates demand from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government for specialist secretariat support at the intersection of aggregate-sector policy, environmental matters and public-sector administration. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable, in-depth understanding of the role and work of Aggregate Working Parties, alongside the management consultancy capability to run an effective secretariat. The requirement also favours suppliers able to mobilise appropriately skilled resources quickly and sustain dependable delivery across UK locations. Relevant experience should show that the organisation can coordinate stakeholders, manage recurring secretariat activity and provide clear administrative and advisory support in a central-government setting. Firms with both environmental-services knowledge and general management consultancy experience would be well placed to address the combined requirement.
