Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured flood-prevention works for Harrington Drain. The requirement is classified as flood-prevention works (CPV 45246400) and falls within the works category. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The named project is Harrington Drain, indicating a focused intervention rather than a broad programme of drainage services. The buyer is the Environment Agency, a public body responsible for managing flood risk and water environments in England. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors delivering physical flood-defence, drainage or water-management works, particularly those able to work in the East Midlands and operate within the Environment Agency’s contracting arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Whitehouse Construction Co. Ltd on 13 August 2026 for £59,198.41. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The process was not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information identifies the requirement and framework call-off route, but gives no separate award scoring basis or lot structure. The outcome shows a short, defined flood-prevention works package procured through an established framework.

For suppliers tracking Environment Agency demand, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for flood-prevention works at a focused drainage asset, delivered through a framework call-off rather than an open tender. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in drainage, flood-defence or related civil engineering works, with the workforce, plant and site management capacity to deliver a concentrated package within a short delivery window. Access to the relevant framework is central to competing through this route. The award to a construction company indicates that the buyer accepts established civil engineering contractors for this type of work. Firms should be able to evidence comparable flood-risk or water-management delivery, reliable programme control and the capacity to work in the East Midlands.
