Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured refurbishment works at Dronfield Dam in the North East of England. The requirement is classified as flood-prevention works and falls within the construction works category. The scope is described as Dronfield Dam Refurbishments, indicating work to restore or improve an existing flood-management asset rather than a new-build scheme. The procurement relates to one defined package within the wider requirement. The buyer is the Environment Agency, a national public body responsible for managing flood risk and environmental protection in England. Businesses relevant to this requirement are civil engineering and specialist water infrastructure contractors with the capability to carry out refurbishment works on dam or flood-defence assets in the North East.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process is complete and BAM Nuttall Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,688,783 including the stated currency of GBP. The wider estimated procurement range was £1,688,783 to £2,000,000. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 16:22. The award covered the Dronfield Dam refurbishment works as a single defined package. The published information records the procurement category and framework call-off route, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for substantial flood-prevention refurbishment delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need strong civil engineering capability in dam, reservoir, flood-defence or related water infrastructure refurbishment, together with the capacity to manage a sizeable public-sector works package over an extended delivery period. Relevant experience should include working on live or safety-critical assets, planning and controlling construction activities, managing environmental and operational risks, and meeting the technical and assurance requirements associated with flood-risk infrastructure. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment was not directed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the requirement points towards established contractors or larger delivery organisations, potentially supported by specialist supply-chain partners. Experience with Environment Agency requirements and framework procurement would also strengthen credibility.
