Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA commissioned flood-defence maintenance works to make sites compliant with the Machinery Directive. The requirement is intended to improve safety for people using weed screens and carrying out weed-screen maintenance. The work is associated with the Agency’s AOMR Lot 2 EMD Machinery Directive Bundle and is delivered in London and the West Midlands. The relevant business category is flood-defence maintenance, covering work on infrastructure and machinery used in flood-management settings. A supplier would therefore need to understand the operational risks around weed screens, the safety implications of maintenance access and the practical requirements for bringing site equipment into compliance with machinery-safety obligations. Galliford Try is the selected supplier for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12 noon. The estimated procurement value was £62,439,618, while the active award to Galliford Try was £624,396.18. The award date was 2 July 2026. The awarded contract period ran from 20 June 2026 to 21 June 2026, so the recorded delivery period was two calendar days. The process was not presented as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award relates to one requirement covering the Machinery Directive compliance and safety works described for the flood-defence sites.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates demand for specialist flood-defence maintenance linked to machinery-safety compliance. A credible competitor for a future requirement from DEFRA would need practical experience of weed screens and their maintenance environments, together with the ability to identify safety risks and deliver remedial works that support Machinery Directive compliance. Relevant capability would include work on flood-management infrastructure, site-based maintenance, machinery or guarding interventions, and coordination with the organisation responsible for operating the assets. The route used also shows that framework participation and the capacity to deliver tightly defined public-sector safety works are commercially important for this buyer.
