Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency recently completed a procurement process awarding a contract for "RDE940 - A scoping review of monitoring for net zero activities" within the research and development consultancy services category. This initiative aims to investigate necessary monitoring practices for environmental risk assessment related to current and potential future regulated activities. The tender utilised a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was announced on 21st November 2025, with the contract commencing on 24th November 2025 and extending until 31st March 2026. This contract encompasses multiple regions, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom, among others.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development consultancy, particularly those with expertise in environmental monitoring technologies. While the procurement method was selective, participation in framework agreements can provide further business opportunities as it opens up future calls-off. Companies like WSP UK Ltd, which are capable of delivering complex environmental projects, stand to benefit from such opportunities. Although this specific procurement process has concluded, it highlights the growing demand for specialised consultancy services in achieving net-zero targets, offering prospects for similar future tenders.
