Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured construction works for Lot 2 of the EAN-CDF requirement: works to the Essex embankments and construction of an artificial badger sett at Wallasea, Essex. The requirement is primarily civil engineering and environmental construction, combining embankment-related works with wildlife mitigation infrastructure. The procurement identifies a delivery postcode of PE2 8YY and also associates the work with the United Kingdom and wider listed territories and regions. The named public-sector buyer is the Environment Agency. The scope is relevant to contractors that deliver earthworks, embankment construction or maintenance, habitat protection and specialist ecological structures, particularly where these services are integrated within a single construction package.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Environment Agency used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to BAM Nuttall Ltd on 7 August 2026 for £117,597.63 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 February 2027. The tender had a submission deadline of 7 August 2026 at 15:00. This was a works contract and was treated as Lot 2 of the requirement. The award is active, with BAM Nuttall Ltd named as the sole supplier. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement is a clear example of the Environment Agency buying a combined civil engineering and ecological construction package through a framework call-off. Businesses seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in embankment works, earthworks and construction delivery, alongside the ability to build wildlife mitigation features such as artificial badger setts. Relevant experience should show that environmental requirements can be incorporated into regulated construction projects without compromising programme, quality or site delivery. The completed award also indicates that the buyer uses framework arrangements for focused, relatively small-scale packages rather than only large standalone competitions. Framework membership, appropriate construction capacity and evidence of delivering environmentally sensitive infrastructure would therefore be important when competing for similar requirements from this buyer.
