Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs procured contractor support during incident response under the THMS – AOMR requirement, Lot 3. The work is classified as civil engineering consultancy services and is categorised as works. It covers providing contractor support when responding to incidents, rather than a general consultancy commission. Delivery is associated with Reading, Berkshire, including the RG1 8DQ area, and the wider South East of England. The buyer is Defra, a central government department. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist firms with the ability to support civil engineering-related incident response could be relevant. The selected supplier was Nurture Landscapes Ltd.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Defra used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Tender submissions closed at 12 noon on 8 June 2026. The award was made on 8 July 2026 to Nurture Landscapes Ltd for £65,000 including the stated award value in GBP. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The wider procurement was valued between £65,000 and £350,000 in GBP, while the award recorded for Lot 3 is £65,000. The published requirement described contractor support during incident response and identified civil engineering consultancy services as its classification. The source records the procurement as complete and the award as active.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of Defra’s demand for contractor support during incident response, delivered through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would need to offer practical incident-response contractor support linked to civil engineering consultancy and works, with capacity to operate in Reading and the wider South East. The requirement is relevant to SMEs, making it commercially pertinent to smaller specialist firms as well as larger contractors with suitable delivery capability. Businesses should be able to demonstrate a dependable response service, appropriate civil engineering expertise and the operational capacity to support Defra during incidents of this type.
