Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured desilting works in Cornwall as part of its IM & Rec programme, under the AOMR framework’s Lot 1. The requirement is described as infrastructure works; the procurement classification is infrastructure works consultancy services (CPV 71311300). Delivery is in Cornwall, with Bristol also listed as a delivery address. The work forms part of a programme requirement rather than a general consultancy commission: suppliers in this area should consider whether they can undertake desilting works in Cornwall within the stated programme context.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cormac. The Environment Agency used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 7 October 2026 for £92,364.22. The contract period runs from 5 October to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 4 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is identified as Lot 1, and the award records one supplier. The stated estimated tender value and awarded value are both £92,364.22. The contracting process is marked complete; the award is active. No separate evaluation criteria are set out in the published process details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that the Environment Agency commissions Cornwall desilting works through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the practical capability to deliver desilting and related infrastructure works in Cornwall, together with the capacity to complete a tightly bounded programme of work. The award went to Cormac, a supplier based in Cornwall, indicating that local delivery capability is relevant to this requirement. The tender records that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so firms should assess whether they can compete at the scale and through the framework route used here. This is specifically a Cornwall desilting requirement, not a broad infrastructure consultancy opportunity.
