Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has concluded the procurement process for the "Aurora Transformation Programme - Asset Health Metric," which falls under the industry category of Technical Analysis or Consultancy Services. The contract, with a value of £386,798.85, was awarded to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited (t/a JBA Consulting) on 10th October 2025, and the contract period spans from 1st October 2025 to 14th August 2026. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating that the opportunity was part of an existing arrangement. This procurement is linked to services focused in the East of England, UK, with the Environment Agency's assets as the primary focus of the initiative.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the technical infrastructure and environmental consultancy industries. Companies specialising in asset management and health metrics, particularly those with experience in flood and coastal risk management, navigation, and water, land, and biodiversity asset monitoring, would find this contract aligns well with their expertise. Despite the tender being unsuited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), it offers substantial business growth avenues for larger consultancy firms with the capability to engage with high-level government projects. The programme's emphasis on comprehensive health indicators over asset condition suggests a need for innovative consultancy solutions, securing a role within long-term infrastructure and environmental programmes.
