## Summary

The recent procurement process undertaken by DEFRA, titled "Environment Agency's AI Maturity & Readiness Assessment," falls under the industry category of general management consultancy services (CPV: 79411000). The buyer, DEFRA, is located in London, United Kingdom, with the delivery addresses specified within the same region. This procurement process has reached the award stage as of 5th February 2026, with the award contract being published on the same date. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 30th January 2026. The contract period is from 2nd February 2026 to 27th March 2026, with a total contract value of £90,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in artificial intelligence and general management consultancy services. However, it may not be suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, as indicated by the procurement suitability criteria. The selective procurement method, emphasising framework agreements, suggests that businesses already on DEFRA's framework or similar could find additional opportunities through such tenders. Organisations with expertise in AI maturity and readiness assessments would be particularly well-positioned to compete in the growing market for AI-driven consultative services.
