Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned flood-prevention works to replace penstock spindles at Brentingby in the East Midlands. The requirement is classified as CPV 45246400 and falls within the works category. Penstock spindles are components used to operate water-control structures, so the work is relevant to contractors with mechanical, civil engineering or flood-risk management capability, particularly those experienced in maintaining or refurbishing flood-storage, drainage or other water-management assets. The named buying organisation is the Environment Agency, whose address is in Birmingham. The delivery location is identified as Brentingby in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The scope is a single replacement project rather than a general supply requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The Environment Agency awarded the contract to ECS Engineering Services Ltd on 7 September 2026 for £77,230.44 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 30 January 2027. The award is recorded as active. The published requirement was valued at £77,230.44, and the stated suitability assessment marked it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was for flood-prevention works evaluated through the framework call-off route.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist water-control engineering from the Environment Agency. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability to replace and commission penstock spindles, work safely on flood-prevention infrastructure, and deliver engineering works within a controlled public-sector programme. Access to the relevant framework was important because the contract was awarded as a framework call-off, so businesses would need either existing framework participation or a route into an appropriate framework before competing for similar requirements. The buyer’s assessment indicates that the work is aimed at established contractors with sufficient technical resources, site capability and capacity for infrastructure projects rather than SMEs or VCSEs.
