Opportunity overview

UKFE is currently embarking on the development of a DCO submission in 2029. The first stage of consultation closes in 2026. This comprises 13 separate consultation events within approx. 10km of the WB campus, supported by documentation and online materials and feedback routes. A second phase of consultation is planned for 2027, with a final third phase in 2028. This requirement is to place a contract with an external Supplier to continue the provision of these specialist interface, co-ordination and consultation services, as UKFE continues to progress through the DCO process and in particular, to support S2. This Pre-Tender Market Engagement exercise (Preliminary Market Engagement) is to identify potential providers and ascertain market interest in engaging with a tender process.
