## Summary

DEFRA procured construction-related professional services for its Penrith Feasibility Project. The requirement is classified as building services consultancy and concerns feasibility work supporting a construction project. Delivery is in Penrith, in the North West of England, including the CA11 9BP area. DEFRA is the buying organisation. The work is a professional services commission rather than construction works or the supply of goods, so it is relevant to building services consultancies, multidisciplinary engineering and property practices, and firms providing feasibility advice for public-sector construction projects. The selected supplier was WSP UK Ltd, indicating that the requirement was suited to an established consultancy able to provide construction-related professional input for DEFRA’s Penrith project.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. DEFRA used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 May 2026 at 12 noon. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. The award was made on 17 August 2026 to WSP UK Ltd for £25,610.38 including the stated GBP currency. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £25,610.38. This was a single services requirement, with the award covering the full stated commission. The procurement record does not set out a separate scoring formula or detailed award criteria, so the principal commercial indicators are the framework route, the consultancy scope and the short contract period.

For a supplier that did not win this commission, the opportunity is useful evidence of DEFRA demand for focused building services consultancy supporting feasibility work in Penrith. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable experience in construction-related professional services, feasibility studies and the assessment or development of public-sector building projects. It would also need the technical breadth to advise before construction begins, produce clear professional outputs and work effectively with a government client and its project stakeholders. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off and indication that the requirement was not suitable for SMEs point towards the importance of framework access, organisational capacity, reliable delivery processes and the ability to provide an established consultancy team.
