Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency required modelling, mapping, survey and digitisation services for the East Anglia Modelling and Data 2026 Package 2, supporting the East Hub. This is a professional services requirement focused on design and modelling work, with associated geographic data collection, map production and conversion of information into digital formats. The buying organisation is Defra group Commercial, acting for the Environment Agency. Delivery is in the East of England, with an address in Peterborough identified for the requirement. The procurement concerns a single package of services rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. It is relevant to organisations providing environmental, geographic, engineering or infrastructure modelling and data services, particularly where these capabilities can be combined in one delivery team.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Mott MacDonald Ltd on 16 July 2026 for £333,204.60 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2028. Evaluation resulted in one active award covering the package. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Its primary classification is design-modelling services, with the wider scope covering modelling, mapping, surveys and digitisation.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Environment Agency for integrated modelling and data services in East Anglia. A credible future competitor would need to combine technical modelling with mapping, surveying and digitisation, rather than offering only one isolated capability. Useful strengths would include environmental or infrastructure modelling, spatial data handling, GIS and map production, field survey delivery, and reliable conversion and management of source information in digital form. The route to market is important: this requirement was placed as a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework route and the capacity to deliver a coordinated package. The award to a large consultancy indicates that scale, multidisciplinary resources and the ability to manage the full service scope are likely to matter.
