Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned the WMD Eels Pass Programme 2026, classified as flood-prevention works. The requirement covers construction work associated with improving eel passage as part of the Agency’s flood and water-environment responsibilities. Delivery is in Birmingham and elsewhere in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a works opportunity rather than a supply or professional-services contract, and is aimed at a contractor able to undertake physical civil-engineering and water-management works. The named buying organisation is the Environment Agency. The programme title indicates a focused requirement concerning eel-pass infrastructure, while the procurement classification places it within the wider flood-prevention works market. Suppliers operating in civil engineering, river engineering, flood-risk management or related environmental construction may therefore find the requirement relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The Environment Agency awarded the contract to Jackson Civil Engineering Limited on 24 July 2026 for £369,483.12 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 24 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The published process records one active award and identifies the contract as a works procurement. The tender’s stated value is £369,483.12. The process was marked complete, and the award was made to the named supplier. The procurement data does not state separate lots or an award scoring basis, so the recorded outcome is the relevant evaluation information.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates the Environment Agency’s demand for specialist civil-engineering works combining flood-prevention delivery with eel-passage infrastructure in the West Midlands. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering construction projects in or around watercourses, flood-risk assets and environmental infrastructure, together with the site management, health and safety and environmental controls needed for work in sensitive locations. The requirement also shows that the Agency uses framework call-offs for this type of work, so suppliers seeking comparable opportunities should understand the relevant framework route and maintain the capacity to respond through it. The selected contractor was a large business, while the procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating a need for substantial delivery capacity and established civil-engineering capability.
