Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned beach monitoring and reporting services for Lydd Beach, under the requirement titled “Lydd Beach Monitoring & Reporting”. The work is classified as construction consultancy services and falls within the wider services category. The requirement concerns monitoring activity at the beach and producing associated reports for the buyer. Delivery is in Lydd Beach, with the recorded delivery location also linked to the South East of England and the BN11 1LD postcode area. This is an Environment Agency requirement rather than a general construction works contract: businesses should therefore assess whether their work covers coastal or beach monitoring, technical assessment and reporting, alongside consultancy support relevant to construction or environmental management.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed at 3pm on 3 June 2026. The contract was awarded to Jacobs UK Ltd on 29 July 2026 for £260,117 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 5 June 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award is recorded as active, and the tender status is complete. The published requirement is for services, with a total estimated tender value of £260,117. The available procurement information identifies the successful supplier and commercial outcome, but does not set out a separate award scoring breakdown or detailed evaluation weighting.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined Environment Agency demand for beach monitoring and reporting delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in coastal or beach monitoring, reliable collection and interpretation of technical information, and production of clear reports suitable for an environmental regulator. Construction consultancy experience is relevant because that is the recorded classification for the requirement. Suppliers would also need to operate at a scale capable of supporting a substantial, multi-year service, with the systems, personnel and quality controls needed for consistent delivery across the full contract period. The recorded suitability settings did not identify the work as specifically suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
