Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured construction consultancy services for the Twerton Gates Appraisal within the Bath Flood Defence Scheme. The work relates to assessing flood-defence infrastructure and the proposed Twerton gates, supporting the wider scheme in the South West of England. The procurement was categorised as works, with the classification indicating construction consultancy services. The delivery location is identified as Bristol and the South West region of the United Kingdom. This requirement would be relevant to firms providing consultancy for flood-risk management, flood-defence assets, civil engineering appraisal or related infrastructure planning. It concerns professional assessment and consultancy around a flood-defence scheme rather than general construction delivery or the supply of physical goods.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated procurement value was £150,000. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2018 at noon, and the contract period ran from 1 October 2018 to 28 February 2020. The contract was awarded to Mott MacDonald Ltd on 23 October 2018 for £150,000. The award is recorded as active. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information does not set out a separate quality and price weighting or other detailed evaluation basis.

This award is relevant to established infrastructure and engineering consultancies able to assess flood-defence schemes and gated control structures for a public-sector flood-risk authority. A credible competitor would need technical capability in civil engineering appraisal, flood-risk management and the assessment of existing or proposed defence assets. The work also points to the importance of understanding how an individual asset fits within a wider flood-defence programme, rather than treating the gates as an isolated design exercise. The route to market was a framework call-off, so relevant firms would benefit from framework access and the ability to respond efficiently to scoped consultancy requirements. The buyer’s recorded suitability assessment favoured larger, established providers over SMEs or voluntary-sector organisations.
