## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs commissioned services to improve its front-door, prioritisation and pipeline management process. The requirement is described as construction consultancy services (CPV 71530000), with the work associated with the department’s operations in London and potentially across the United Kingdom and wider locations listed for delivery. The scope centres on an improvement plan for how prospective work is received, prioritised and managed through a pipeline. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction delivery itself. The buying organisation is the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, based at 17 Smith Square, London. The selected supplier is WSP UK Limited.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at noon. WSP UK Limited received the contract on 10 September 2026 for £99,999 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is active. The opportunity was classified as a services procurement and was assessed through the framework call-off route. The contract covers the full improvement-plan requirement rather than separately identified lots. The recorded suitability settings indicate that participation was not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates demand for established construction consultancy providers able to advise a UK government department on operational improvement, not just technical construction activity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience designing or improving front-door, prioritisation and pipeline-management processes, with the ability to turn that work into a practical improvement plan. It would also need to operate through the relevant framework route and demonstrate sufficient organisational scale for a requirement that was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Useful evidence would include comparable public-sector consultancy assignments, structured governance and prioritisation methods, pipeline controls, and the capacity to deliver a focused improvement programme across the department’s operating locations.
