Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has completed the procurement process for the "Thames Area Navigation Capital Maintenance Programme Development" contract. This project falls under the civil engineering consultancy services category, focusing on delivering support and design activities for an asset maintenance programme. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £350,000, covers services in the South East of the United Kingdom, and the Environment Agency, located at Horizon House, London, has managed the procurement. The tender process culminated in an award on 16th January 2026, after the tender period ended on 3rd November 2025. The contract period commenced on 12th January 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses that provide civil engineering consultancy services, particularly those capable of undertaking specialised design and support activities aligned with asset maintenance programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged, as indicated by the procurement suitability criteria. Companies like Jacobs UK Ltd, which won the contract, are well-suited to such engagements, suggesting that businesses with similar expertise and capacity can successfully compete for future similar contracts. This procurement not only fosters business growth within the consultancy service sector but also enhances collaborations with government bodies like the Environment Agency.
