Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the Environment Agency, focuses on the mechanical engineering installation works necessary for repairs to the Milford Dam Control Panel. This project is categorised within the works industry and is strategically located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically in the postal code area BN11 1LD. The contracting process has moved into the Award stage, with significant dates including the tender end on 1 December 2025, the award publication on 23 December 2025, and the contract period set from 20 December 2025 to 29 May 2026. The procurement method used was selective, via a call-off from a framework agreement, with a project value of £105,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in mechanical engineering and installation services, particularly those capable of leveraging framework agreements to secure contracts. While the project was awarded to Fairfield Control Systems—a small to medium-sized enterprise—other businesses in a similar scale with expertise in mechanical repair works can explore future opportunities with the Environment Agency, which frequently undertakes projects in the infrastructure and environmental sectors. Engaging with framework agreements and developing niche capabilities in specialised engineering projects can foster business growth in this sector.
