Summary of the contracting process

Defra Commercial procured services for LNAPL site conceptualisation and management. LNAPL means light non-aqueous phase liquid, a form of contamination requiring assessment, conceptual site modelling and management planning. The requirement is classified as management training services (CPV 80532000), so the work may include developing or delivering training alongside technical advice on LNAPL sites. The stated delivery address is in London, with delivery coverage extending across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services requirement, rather than goods or construction works. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Defra Commercial used a direct procurement route described as a single tender action below threshold. The submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 2 September 2026 to GroundH2O Plus Ltd for £29,423.67 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. The award is active. The recorded evaluation basis is the single-tender route, rather than a competitive procedure with published scoring criteria. This outcome identifies both the selected supplier and the expected five-year period for delivery of LNAPL site conceptualisation and management services.

For suppliers assessing future work from Defra Commercial, this procurement demonstrates demand for specialist LNAPL capability combined with management training services. Credible competitors would need to show practical expertise in light non-aqueous phase liquid contamination, site conceptualisation, conceptual site modelling, risk understanding and management planning. The requirement also points to the value of explaining technical issues clearly through structured training, rather than offering site investigation or remediation alone. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable, indicating that the work can be relevant to organisations outside the largest environmental consultancies. A strong future proposition would combine contaminated-land expertise with the ability to deliver consistent advice or training across the United Kingdom and wider locations identified by the buyer.
