Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has awarded a contract for the project titled "RDE1023 - From business pressures to environmental outcomes: understanding futur". This contract is aimed at enhancing the Agency's understanding of the effects of structural business pressures on landfill operators and how these might impact environmental delivery risks in the future. This contract falls under the Research and Development consultancy services industry category. The procurement process, led by the Environment Agency from their London office, utilised a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 19th February 2026. The contract commenced on 20th February 2026 and will end on 30th April 2026, spanning various geographical locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom, with an award value of £79,025.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in research and development consultancy services, particularly those with experience in environmental compliance and risk assessment within waste management sectors. The awarded supplier, Eunomia Research & Consulting Ltd., based in Bristol, suggests that entities with a proven track record in consultancy and strategic environmental evaluation are well-suited. While small to medium enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprises might find this project less suited, the opportunity to collaborate on a project with governmental implications can significantly bolster a business's portfolio and reputation within the industry.
