## Summary

DEFRA procured site-wide enabling infrastructure works at the Coombelands site, supporting the National Biosecurity Centre. This is a construction project covering infrastructure across the site rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine services. The work is to be delivered in London, with a recorded delivery location in the SW1P 4DF area. DEFRA is the buying organisation. The requirement is classified as construction work and is relevant to contractors able to undertake coordinated infrastructure works in a biosecurity-centre environment. It may suit businesses involved in major site preparation, civil engineering, utilities, external works or associated construction packages, subject to the framework and project requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. DEFRA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 6 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Willmott Dixon Construction Limited on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £11,761,976.68, and the contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 25 October 2027. The procurement was for works and was assessed through the framework call-off route. The recorded tender estimate is also £11,761,976.68. The award is active. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need the capacity to deliver substantial, site-wide construction infrastructure works for DEFRA and the National Biosecurity Centre. The awarded supplier indicates demand for an established construction business able to coordinate multiple workstreams and manage delivery across an operationally significant site. Relevant capability may include civil engineering, utilities, enabling works, site logistics, construction management and integration with specialist facilities, although the published requirement does not identify individual technical disciplines. Experience of delivering complex public-sector construction projects and operating through a framework call-off route would help a supplier compete effectively. Smaller organisations may need a suitable consortium or supply-chain role, since participation was not marked as SME-suitable.
