Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Inland Forecasting Model Improvements - Inception - Nene Catchment" project, conducted by Defra in Peterborough, has reached the award stage with the contract now finalised. The procurement was in the services category, specifically focusing on flood-prevention works. The tender process entailed a selective procurement method through a framework agreement. Key timelines included a tender period ending on 18th July 2025, the contract award dated 24th July 2025, and the contract period from 28th July 2025 to 30th November 2025. The contract, valued at £74,979.50, was awarded to Mott Macdonald.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental engineering services, particularly those focused on climate resilience and infrastructure improvement. The scope of flood-prevention works means that companies with expertise in hydrological modelling and environmental consultancy are well-suited to engage in such tenders. Whilst this specific contract is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, similar projects in the realm of public works can offer numerous avenues for expansion and collaboration with governmental bodies such as Defra for firms large enough to operate within such frameworks.
