Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) procured technical analysis and consultancy services to update fluvial model standards. The requirement concerns the development, review or maintenance of standards used in fluvial modelling, rather than general environmental consultancy. The work is a services contract for delivery in the United Kingdom. Defra is the buying organisation, with responsibility for funding and using the resulting work. The procurement is relevant to businesses with specialist capability in flood-risk, river or hydrological modelling, technical standards, and the preparation or review of analytical methods for environmental applications. The classification is technical analysis or consultancy services (CPV 71621000).

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. Defra used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 August 2026, and the award to JBA Ltd was made on 17 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £47,015. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 July 2027. JBA Ltd is the selected supplier. The published requirement was for a single fluvial model standards update service, with the procurement classified as services. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier remains the awarded provider for the requirement. The recorded procurement value and awarded value are the same.

For a supplier considering future work with Defra, this award demonstrates demand for focused technical consultancy on fluvial model standards through a framework call-off route. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in river and flood modelling, together with the ability to assess, update and document technical standards used in environmental analysis. It would also need to provide authoritative technical outputs suitable for a government department and to manage a defined specialist assignment through to completion. The selected supplier is a large organisation, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses with established modelling teams, standards-development experience and relevant public-sector delivery capability are therefore the closest fit.
