Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned civil engineering consultancy services for the Penton Hook Weir Works. The work is to develop an outline design from the appraisal stage into a detailed design that meets the project objectives and allows the scheme to be priced and constructed under an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. Delivery is at Penton Hook Weir, in the South East of England, with the recorded delivery postcode RG1 8DQ. This is a services contract rather than construction works itself: the core requirement is engineering design and consultancy to prepare the scheme for subsequent pricing and construction. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist civil engineering design consultancies with the necessary technical capability.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 12 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was between £938,187 and £1,000,000, inclusive of the stated minimum and maximum estimates. The contract was awarded on 4 August 2026 to Jacobs UK Ltd for £938,187. The award is active and the contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 7 August 2028. The evaluation basis is reflected in the framework call-off procedure. The award outcome identifies one selected supplier and does not indicate cancellation or termination. The buying organisation is the Environment Agency, which used the framework route to appoint the design consultant.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for substantial civil engineering design consultancy supporting water infrastructure works. A credible future competitor would need to turn appraisal-stage or outline engineering into construction-ready detailed design, while maintaining a clear link to project objectives, cost pricing and buildability. Experience of preparing designs for delivery through an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract would be directly relevant. Firms should be able to manage technically complex weir or related water-environment schemes, coordinate design development and provide outputs suitable for contractor pricing and construction. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so specialist consultancies with strong civil engineering capability, comparable infrastructure experience and access to framework-based public sector routes may be well placed when similar work returns.
