Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured construction works at the Ailsworth Site in the East Midlands, near Helpston, PE6 7EG. The requirement was to construct a capping system over a landfill and improve the drainage system. The drainage improvements are intended to manage rainfall and water flowing through hazardous waste. This is waste-disposal-site construction work, covering civil engineering and environmental remediation rather than routine waste collection or general building services. The buyer is the Environment Agency, whose address is in Birmingham. The work concerns a single requirement for the site and combines landfill containment with water-management infrastructure. Businesses would therefore need to operate in environmental construction, landfill engineering, drainage, or closely related civil engineering fields.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 30 July 2026. Jackson Civil Engineering Limited was selected for the contract at £3,516,057 GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 15 December 2026. The recorded procurement category is works. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with the awarded value matching the overall estimated procurement value. The contracting route indicates that competition was conducted among suppliers already appointed to the relevant framework.

This award demonstrates demand for substantial environmental civil engineering at an Environment Agency landfill site. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of landfill remediation, engineered capping systems and drainage works, including managing rainfall and water associated with hazardous waste. It would also need the construction capacity, site management capability and specialist environmental controls to deliver interconnected containment and water-management works within a defined programme. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement is unsuitable for SMEs indicates a need for a supplier with significant organisational scale and delivery resources, rather than a small specialist working independently. Experience of framework-based public sector call-offs would also be commercially relevant, as this requirement was procured through that route.
