Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured flood-prevention works for the Harrimans Drive to M1 scheme. The requirement is classified as flood-prevention works (CPV 45246400) and includes de-silting and main works, based on the named contract documentation. The work is associated with the East Midlands and the Environment Agency’s Birmingham location. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. It is relevant to contractors able to undertake civil engineering and water-management works, particularly works involving flood-risk reduction, channel or drainage maintenance, and de-silting. The named buyer is the Environment Agency, which uses the requirement to address infrastructure and water-management needs connected with the Harrimans Drive to M1 route.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Land & Water on 5 August 2026 for £165,114.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 August 2026 to 24 November 2026. The awarded supplier is an SME. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses should interpret it as a framework call-off requiring access to the relevant framework and the ability to meet the buyer’s requirements through that route. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the procurement demonstrates a defined Environment Agency requirement for targeted flood-prevention works on a modest, focused civil-engineering project. A credible competitor for comparable future requirements would need practical experience in flood-risk management, de-silting and associated main works, together with the plant, site teams and operational controls needed to deliver work safely in an infrastructure setting. Access to the relevant framework is important because this buyer used a framework call-off rather than an open competition. The stated SME unsuitability indicates that the buyer expected a supplier able to meet the requirement at framework scale, with sufficient organisational capacity, delivery experience and financial resilience. Contractors specialising in watercourses, drainage, flood assets and environmental civil engineering are the closest fit.
