## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded a contract to the Institution of Civil Engineers, located in London, for developing guidance related to the PAS 4010 specification on improving productivity in construction. This contract falls under the 'business services' category, specifically involving consulting and engagement with industry stakeholders. The procurement process for this contract was conducted directly and was a below-threshold activity, meaning it was awarded without competition. The award was confirmed on 9 March 2026 and involves a contract period from 16 March 2026 to 30 November 2026.

The awarded contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the civil engineering and construction consulting industries.

Engaging with DfT and influential bodies such as the Construction Leadership Council can pave the way for participating businesses to broaden their client base and strengthen their presence in the industry.
