Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "EMD South GC" has been conducted by the Environment Agency, which is based at Aqua House in Birmingham, UK. This procurement falls under the industry category of flood-prevention works and is located in the East Midlands region. The process has reached the award stage, with the award status being marked as active as of 2nd March 2026. The tender utilised a selective procurement method, specifically calling off from a framework agreement, and involved a contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The total contract value associated with this bidding process is £950,000, with the award valued at £178,500.07.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the flood-prevention and infrastructure sectors, although with a procurement method that suits larger entities given the lack of suitability for SMEs and VCSEs. Companies with expertise in flood prevention works or those focused on infrastructure improvement stand to benefit from competing for contracts awarded through this selective framework agreement. Ground Control Limited has already been identified as a successful supplier, demonstrating strategic growth opportunities for similar firms with the capability to manage substantial contracts within this niche market.
