Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned environmental borehole drilling works under its ENVHNL Phase 8 programme. The requirement is to drill, develop and complete a specified number of groundwater-level monitoring boreholes. The appointed supplier must produce the final works specification, prepare a health and safety plan, complete necessary pre-construction searches and documentation, carry out the agreed works, and provide a factual completion report. Each monitoring borehole must also be registered with the British Geological Survey, with the registration details supplied to the Environment Agency. This is a works contract within the environmental services category. Delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world.

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 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Ltd on 13 July 2026 for £88,480 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2027. The award is active. The requirement was treated as environmental works, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award represents the selected supplier and the full stated contract value.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need practical capability in groundwater monitoring borehole drilling, development and completion, together with the capacity to work across the Environment Agency’s specified locations. They would need to turn an agreed requirement into a final technical specification, plan and manage health and safety, complete pre-construction searches and documentation, and deliver the works in accordance with the agreed documents. Reliable technical reporting is important because the supplier must provide a factual completion report and register every monitoring borehole with the British Geological Survey. The framework call-off route and the stated unsuitability for SMEs indicate a need for an established supplier able to manage the complete delivery and reporting package.
