Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has concluded a public procurement process titled "SE - CDF - Bridge Inspections 26/27", focusing on conducting bridge inspections across the South East of the United Kingdom. This contract, classified under civil engineering consultancy services with CPV code 71311000, has been awarded as of 28th May 2026. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender process reached the award stage on 28th May 2026. The contract period is set from 15th June 2026 to 31st March 2027, with the work being carried out in the South East region, centred in Worthing, postal code BN11 1UR.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in civil engineering consultancy services, particularly those focusing on infrastructure inspection and maintenance. Although not specifically suited for SMEs or VCSEs, larger consulting firms can greatly benefit by securing a substantial contract value of £150,000. Businesses with expertise in collaborating under frameworks will find this selective procurement approach advantageous. The awarded supplier, Jeremy Benn Associates Limited (t/a JBA Consulting), exemplifies the type of established firm likely to succeed in such a competitive process, offering insights for other potential competitors in similar future tenders.
