Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured infrastructure works consultancy services for the Bude flood defence and river restoration project. The requirement falls within the works category and concerns delivery in Bude, in the South West of England. The project is focused on flood defence and restoration of the river environment, so relevant suppliers would be involved in planning, advising on or supporting infrastructure works associated with those outcomes. The buying organisation is the Environment Agency, based in Bristol. The procurement relates to a specific project rather than a broad, multi-service arrangement, and the named requirement identifies the work as Lot 3 of the AOMR framework route. The combination of flood protection, river restoration and infrastructure consultancy points to an assignment for firms with experience in environmental and civil engineering projects.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Environment Agency selected Stonbury Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using a direct award route identified in the requirement title. The award date was 27 August 2026, and the historical tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value was £122,193.91. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 26 October 2026. The tender was classified under CPV 71311300 for infrastructure works consultancy services. The award is active, and the successful supplier is Stonbury Limited. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was not divided into further lots in the published requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in flood defence and river restoration, supported by experience of infrastructure works consultancy and delivery in environmentally sensitive settings. The awarded supplier indicates that the buyer values an organisation able to address both flood-risk infrastructure and river-environment outcomes within one project. Suppliers should be able to work effectively with the Environment Agency, understand public-sector environmental requirements and provide practical, technically robust input to project delivery. The framework call-off and direct-award route show the commercial importance of securing a place on the relevant framework, or partnering with an eligible framework supplier. The stated unsuitability for SMEs suggests that scale, capacity and established organisational resources will be important when this buyer next addresses a comparable requirement.
