Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has awarded the contract for the NW AOMR Lot 3 GMMC Routine Asset Vegetation Management Programme, focusing on flood-defence maintenance works in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process was initiated as a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement, under the 'works' category. The award was made to Lowther Forestry Group Ltd, with the contract period spanning from 14 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The initial tender period concluded on 1 April 2026, and the award was officially published on 21 April 2026, solidifying its status as active.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in vegetation management and flood-defence maintenance. While it was awarded to Lowther Forestry Group Ltd, enterprises of similar capacities and expertise could seek future tenders of this nature. The procurement process, being selective and tied to a framework agreement, suggests potential avenues for businesses that are part of such frameworks. Although the suitability criteria do not favour SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations in the infrastructure and environmental services sectors might find similar procurement processes lucrative for business growth and engagement with governmental projects.
