Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned fire safety risk assessment services for the Thames Barrier and its associated gates. The work falls within fire-prevention services and concerns the assessment of fire risks at critical flood-defence infrastructure. Delivery is in London, including the Thames Barrier site and associated gates. The requirement is a professional service rather than the supply of equipment, construction work or routine facilities management. Businesses relevant to this requirement include consultancies and specialist fire safety providers able to assess risks, document findings and provide recommendations for safety controls at complex operational infrastructure sites.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Jacobs UK Ltd on 19 March 2026 for £182,763. The contract period runs from 16 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 16 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement was classified as a services contract for fire-prevention services. The Environment Agency is the buyer. The award is active and the tender is complete, so this procurement records an established contract rather than a current opportunity to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Environment Agency for specialist fire safety risk assessment at major flood-defence infrastructure. Suppliers considering comparable future work would need credible fire safety assessment capability, relevant fire-prevention expertise and the capacity to work across the Thames Barrier and associated gates without disrupting an operational site. The requirement also shows that the buyer uses a selective framework call-off route, so businesses would need an appropriate place on a relevant framework, or a route to participate through a framework provider. A strong competitor would be able to produce clear, defensible risk assessments and practical recommendations suited to complex public infrastructure.
