Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed the procurement process under "Central - AOMR Lot 3 Direct Award 2026-27 - EMD South - RSC" focusing on flood-defence maintenance works. The selective procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is tailored for the West Midlands, United Kingdom, which falls under the CPV code 45246410. This procurement has reached the award stage as of 1st May 2026, with a prior tender period ending on 27th March 2026 and the contract term lasting from 30th to 31st March 2026. The contract is valued at £950,000, payable in GBP.

This award offers potential growth avenues for businesses specialising in civil engineering and infrastructure maintenance, particularly those with expertise in flood-defences. However, it does not target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The River Stewardship Company, having been chosen as the supplier, presents an example of an organisation that possesses the capabilities to fulfil contract requirements such as regional infrastructural projects. Companies with similar expertise and experience could benefit from exploring alliances or framework agreements in upcoming ventures with governmental bodies like DEFRA.
