Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process is conducted by DEFRA, described under the tender titled "Central - AOMR Lot 3 Direct Award 2026-27 - EMD North - Ground Control," within the flood-prevention works industry category. The project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the West Midlands region. The procurement follows a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award stage completed as of 1st April 2026. The contract was valued at £950,000 and covers a very short contract period, from 30th March to 31st March 2026. The tender process closed on 29th March 2026, and the award status was formally published on 27th April 2026.

This tender offers growth opportunities primarily for larger businesses in the flood-prevention sector, suitable for those capable of fulfilling framework agreements. The procurement does not specifically favour SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that well-established entities like Ground Control Limited make ideal bidders. Engaging in such contracts can enhance a business's portfolio in governmental works and leverage substantial financial projects to drive growth. Companies with experience in environmental management and ground control operations are particularly well-suited to compete in this arena.
