## Summary

The Crown Estate has awarded a contract for the update of FLOW Best Practice Guidance, specifically within the project management consultancy services industry. The procurement process, managed under a single tender action due to the project being below the threshold, concluded with the contract being awarded to ABP Marine Environmental Research Limited. Key dates of note include the contract period starting on 6th November 2024 and concluding on 30th March 2025, with the official award date being 1st November 2024. The procurement falls under the services category and is geographically located within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in project management consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering updates to best practice guidance. While the awarded supplier is a large-scale organisation, businesses with a similar scale and expertise, especially those familiar with public sector procurement processes, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts with The Crown Estate in the future. Such projects can enhance a supplier's portfolio and provide a stable source of revenue within the public sector.
