## Summary

The procurement process titled "NBC PMO 25-27" was overseen by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and focuses on providing Programme Management Office support to the NBC programme in London, United Kingdom. Classified under the industry category of "Project and design preparation, estimation of costs" (CPV code 71242000), this tender involves client-side roles for programme office support and project-specific sponsorship. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender stage has now been completed, with the contract awarded on 22nd September 2025 to Lexica. The contract period spans from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total value of GBP 2,088,478.80.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for firms specialising in project management and design consultancies, as well as those adept in providing strategic support services. Larger organisations with significant experience in handling government projects, particularly within the framework agreement structures, would find this tender suitable. The requirement for both programme office roles and project-specific sponsorship services indicates a need for businesses with robust client-side capacities and the ability to fill gaps in internal team resources effectively. Although not targeting SMEs or VCSEs, it offers substantial-scale work that can enhance reputations and lead to further opportunities in public sector projects.
