Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured civil engineering consultancy services for the detailed design of the Glasson Dock Gate under the North West CDF programme. The requirement covers detailed design work for the gate, rather than construction or general consultancy. Delivery is in the North West of England, at Glasson Dock. This is a services opportunity for engineering consultancies with the technical capability to develop and document a detailed civil engineering design for a significant water infrastructure asset. The buyer is the Environment Agency, whose work relates to managing and protecting the country’s environment and water infrastructure. The procurement was structured as Lot 1, focused specifically on the Glasson Dock Gate detailed design requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Environment Agency selected Jacobs UK Ltd on 17 September 2026. The awarded value is £544,673, while the estimated procurement range was £544,673 to £900,000. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 4 October 2027. It was let through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an open standalone competition. The contract is for services and was associated with a tender deadline of 20 August 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award for the detailed design requirement.

This award provides a clear benchmark for consultancies seeking future Environment Agency work in detailed civil engineering design for water infrastructure. A credible competitor would need experience designing gates or comparable assets, understanding of civil engineering requirements in an operational water environment, and the ability to take a design through the level of detail needed for delivery and approval. Capability to work within a framework call-off route is commercially relevant, as is the capacity to manage a substantial, technically focused commission over an extended delivery period. Firms with multidisciplinary design teams, strong quality assurance, sound project management and relevant North West infrastructure experience would be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return.
