Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs commissioned civil engineering consultancy services for the Days Weir Refurbishment. The work develops the outline design produced at appraisal stage into a detailed design, covering the outline business case to full business case design stages. Delivery is in the South East of England, including the RG1 8DQ area. This is a public-sector infrastructure design commission rather than construction works, so it is relevant to civil engineering consultancies with experience developing designs for refurbishment or water-related infrastructure projects. The requirement sits within the services category and was bought by Defra, whose listed address is in Bristol.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Defra used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 4 May 2026 at 12:00 BST. The estimated procurement value was between £1,102,150 and £1,199,802. Jacobs UK Ltd was awarded the contract on 17 July 2026 for £1,102,150. The contract period runs from 15 July 2026 to 5 June 2028. The award is active. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the award relating to the detailed design commission for the Days Weir refurbishment.

For firms that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined demand from Defra for specialist civil engineering consultancy to take an infrastructure refurbishment design from appraisal-level outline design through to detailed design and full business case maturity. A credible future supplier would need the technical capability to develop robust civil engineering designs, manage the progression between business-case stages and support refurbishment of water-related infrastructure such as a weir. Experience delivering public-sector commissions through framework call-offs would be commercially relevant, as would the organisational capacity to manage a substantial design assignment over a multi-year delivery period. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist consultancies may be well placed to compete when comparable work returns.
