## Summary

This procurement process involves the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), located in Addlestone, United Kingdom. The contract is titled 'Direct Award for RIBA 5 Building Control for PR06 (B4 and B940)', classified under technical building-inspection services. The procurement method utilised is a direct award through a single tender action below threshold. The process is currently in the award stage, with the contract period set from 14th April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The project's location is in the South East, specifically KT15 3NB, with a total contract value of £25,000.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in technical building-inspection services to align with governmental projects, enhancing their portfolio and relationships with public sector bodies. However, the nature of the direct award suggests that it may not have been open for competitive bidding, limiting engagement to enterprises like Sweco Building Control, which have been pre-selected. As such, companies aiming to compete in future procurements with DEFRA may benefit from establishing pre-existing agreements or demonstrating distinct specialisations that cater to public service requirements. This tender provides a specific opportunity mainly for established suppliers in the sector rather than small or voluntary community sector enterprises.
