Summary of the contracting process

Defra procured asset reconditioning works for flood-defence infrastructure under the YNE AOMR Lot 1 requirement, covering the ESH M8 area and the AWOC financial year 2026–27. The work falls within flood-defences maintenance works and is categorised as construction works. Delivery is associated with Leeds, including the LS11 9AT area, and the wider North East of England. The requirement concerns reconditioning existing assets rather than the supply of standalone goods or general construction services. It is therefore relevant to contractors experienced in maintaining, repairing or renewing flood-defence assets and related infrastructure for public-sector clients. The procurement was led by Defra, the government department responsible for the requirement and the use of the resulting works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Defra used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 4 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Esh Construction Ltd on 20 July 2026 for £98,270.13 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 6 January 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was assessed within the framework call-off process, with no separate award criteria or weighting stated in the available procurement information. The published requirement identified a single scope covering asset reconditioning and flood-defence maintenance works in the ESH M8 delivery area and the wider North East region.

This award provides a clear benchmark for contractors targeting future Defra flood-defence asset requirements in the North East. A credible competitor would need practical capability in reconditioning existing flood-defence assets, carrying out maintenance works safely and delivering construction activity across a defined regional area. The selected supplier was a large construction business, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this indicates that comparable future requirements may favour organisations with substantial operational capacity, established site-management systems and the resources to undertake public infrastructure works. Relevant experience with government or other infrastructure clients, robust delivery teams and the ability to work through framework call-offs would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
