Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency, based in London, has recently completed a procurement process for design support services related to flood-defences maintenance. The project, titled "Dutch River (left-bank): Went Outfall to River Ouse Confluence," falls within the services category. This award stage involved a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and was awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Limited. The contract, valued at £62,574, commenced on 7th October 2025 and will continue until 30th March 2027, covering various locations including the UK and broader regions such as Europe and the British Oversea Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering and environmental services, particularly those with expertise in flood-defence systems. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find it less suited to their capacity, larger firms with relevant experience in framework agreements will find it a lucrative opportunity. The awarded contract underscores the potential for further business growth through involvement in public sector projects that aim to bolster infrastructural resilience against natural calamities.
