## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, located in Salisbury, England, recently completed the procurement process for a building characterisation study, designated as "Building Characterisation Study 3". This procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically a call-off from the Scape Framework, with Perfect Circle being awarded the contract. The main industry category for this project is building surveying services. The procurement process now stands at the award stage, officially active as of 14th August 2025. The contract, valued at £92,903.68, is set to commence on 15th August 2025 and will conclude by 31st March 2026.

For businesses in the building surveying sector, especially those with experience in framework agreements, this tender represents a significant opportunity for growth. While the procurement was not suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), large-scale businesses like Perfect Circle are well-positioned to seize such opportunities. The location and nature of the project suggest that companies with expertise in offering specialised surveying services would be particularly competitive. Such tenders can help large firms increase their portfolio within the government infrastructure projects sector.
