Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA commissioned professional consultancy to carry out comprehensive rating reviews at hydrometry and telemetry sites identified in the project scope. The work is classified as construction consultancy, but the specific task is assessment and review of ratings at these monitoring sites. Delivery is in the West Midlands. This is a services requirement for a public-sector buyer, with Mott MacDonald Limited selected to provide the consultancy. The stated scope refers to identified sites but does not describe their number or provide further technical details. Suppliers whose work focuses on consultancy for hydrometry and telemetry infrastructure, particularly rating reviews, are closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Mott MacDonald Limited. DEFRA used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 14 September 2026, for £73,347.26. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender deadline was 10 September 2026 at noon. The requirement was treated as a single service, with no lots described. The procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be summarised further. The stated contract covers comprehensive rating reviews at the hydrometry and telemetry sites in the scope, delivered in the West Midlands.

This award provides a concrete example of demand from DEFRA for specialist consultancy to review ratings at hydrometry and telemetry sites. Mott MacDonald Limited was selected through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. Credibility is likely to depend on demonstrable consultancy experience with hydrometry and telemetry monitoring sites and the technical capability to undertake comprehensive rating reviews. The requirement is a focused professional service rather than a broad construction project. Suppliers should assess whether their expertise matches this specific monitoring and review work, and whether they can deliver across the West Midlands. The procurement does not identify particular accreditations, staffing levels or detailed selection thresholds, so no additional qualifications can be inferred.
