The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has awarded a contract for the Water 2100 Think Tank, focused on strategic design services. The tender, managed by Bloom Procurement Services Limited, falls under the category of services furnished by professional organisations. The procurement process, which employed a direct, single tender action method below the threshold, commenced with the planning stage and reached the award stage, confirmed on 26th March 2026.

This award represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in professional services, particularly those experienced in providing strategic design solutions. While the tender did not specifically cater to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs), it provides a robust platform for larger organisations with expertise in environmental or strategic design sectors. Businesses equipped to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions will find value in aligning with government initiatives such as this one, especially given the ongoing demand for environmental sustainability projects spearheaded by public entities like Defra.
