Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned specialist operating model and transformation support for defined IMx Phase 2 work packages. The work addresses known vulnerabilities in the Agency’s incident response model and requires the supplier to deliver specified outputs linked to agreed deliverables and milestones. This is a professional services requirement within general management consultancy (CPV 79411000), rather than goods or construction. The recorded delivery locations include Bristol and the United Kingdom, with the procurement also allowing delivery across Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buyer is the Environment Agency, based at Horizon House in Bristol. The requirement is therefore relevant to consultancies providing operational transformation and incident-response improvement support to public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. KPMG LLP was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £592,730.25 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with delivery structured around agreed outputs, deliverables and milestones. The recorded procurement category is services, and the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates demand from the Environment Agency for specialist consultancy capable of improving an incident response operating model and addressing identified vulnerabilities through defined transformation work packages. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical experience of operating-model design, organisational transformation and incident-response improvement, together with the ability to turn diagnostic findings into specified, measurable outputs. Strong delivery control would be important because payment and performance are linked to agreed deliverables and milestones. The scale of the engagement points to a supplier with sufficient senior consultancy capacity, programme management discipline and public-sector delivery experience to manage a structured assignment. The framework call-off route also shows that relevant suppliers may need suitable framework access or a route to participate through an appointed framework provider.
