Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Environment Agency, headquartered at Seacole Building, 2 Marsham Street, London, focuses on conducting supplementary investigations into PFAS problem sites, titled "PFAS Problem Sites Supplementary Investigations". Classified under the CPV code 73110000 for research services, it involves delivering addendums to desk studies by WSP for the Barrow and Beck Row sites. The procurement method was a selective process through a direct award to WSP UK Limited, using the ESPO Consultancy Framework Lot 8b Environmental and Sustainability Lot. The award was finalised on 28 August 2025, with activities commencing on 1 September 2025 and set to conclude by 27 February 2026. This contract, valued at GBP 64,820, spans multiple locations, including the UK and various international territories.

Businesses offering research services in environmental and sustainability sectors, particularly those with established infrastructures for addressing contamination issues and producing comprehensive reports, have opportunities for growth by engaging in similar projects with public agencies. Although this particular contract was awarded directly, participation in relevant frameworks, like the ESPO Consultancy Framework, would better position businesses to compete for future tenders in similar domains. Businesses specialising in monitoring strategies, environmental desk studies, and remediation plans would be well-suited to compete in this field as the market continues to prioritise sustainable practices and environmental impact assessments.
