Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency, located in London, has completed the procurement process for the RDE960 - Demand Reduction Target Pathways project, focusing on pathways to achieve non-household demand targets by 2037 and 2050 through collaboration with water companies and government policies. The procurement, which falls under the "Research and development consultancy services" industry category, utilised a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender stage ended on 15 December 2025, and the contract was awarded on 19 December 2025 to WSP UK Ltd for a value of GBP 40,307.91. The work will be conducted primarily within the UK and its territories, and the contract period spans from 16 December 2025 to 31 March 2026.

Companies with a focus on water management, environmental consultancy, and policy development could leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolios. While this particular contract has been awarded, it signals potential for similar future opportunities as the government continues to pursue initiatives aimed at sustainable resource management.
