Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured infrastructure works consultancy services connected with the St Neots Sluice requirement, classified under CPV 71311300. The procurement is categorised as works and covers activity delivered in St Neots, with the delivery location identified in the East of England and the PE2 8YY postcode area. The named supplier is BAM Nuttall Ltd. The requirement indicates a need for infrastructure-sector expertise relating to a sluice asset, combining consultancy input with works delivery. It is therefore relevant to businesses that advise on, manage or deliver civil engineering and water infrastructure projects, particularly suppliers with experience of sluice, flood-risk or related Environment Agency assets. The buyer is the Environment Agency, a public body responsible for environmental and flood-risk infrastructure in England.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 4 August 2026 to BAM Nuttall Ltd. The awarded value is £243,798.73, with the award contract running from 24 August 2026 to 27 April 2027. The tender record also gives a value of £2,200 and a minimum value of £243,798.73. The outcome was evaluated through the framework call-off route. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award evidences demand from the Environment Agency for specialist infrastructure capability around a sluice project, delivered through an established framework route. A credible future competitor would need access to the relevant framework or an equivalent route into the buyer’s purchasing arrangements, together with the capacity to deliver civil engineering and infrastructure consultancy work as one requirement. BAM Nuttall Ltd’s selection indicates that established contractors able to manage public-sector infrastructure delivery may be well placed. Relevant preparation would include demonstrable experience with water-management, flood-risk or sluice assets, competent project and site management, and the organisational capacity to work to Environment Agency requirements. Firms outside the SME and VCSE suitability categories should particularly assess whether their scale and framework status match this buyer’s approach.
