Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured MEICA maintenance support works in South East England, including the Worthing area. The requirement covers support for delivery under the MEICA Maintenance Framework, with the work classified as mechanical engineering installation works. MEICA refers to mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation activities associated with infrastructure maintenance. The work is categorised as construction works rather than goods or general professional services. It is intended to support the Environment Agency’s operational maintenance requirements, delivered through its established framework arrangements. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are contractors able to carry out mechanical engineering installation and associated maintenance support for public infrastructure, particularly those with suitable regional coverage across the South East.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 May 2026 at 12:00. The overall estimated value was between £296,596.83 and £4,200,000, while the award to Galliford Try Construction Limited was valued at £296,596.83. The award date was 9 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The Environment Agency is the buyer. The contracting process was recorded as complete, and the award is active. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for established contractors providing MEICA maintenance support through framework call-offs in the South East. A credible future competitor would need the capability to deliver mechanical engineering installation and maintenance support for public infrastructure, with the operational capacity to work within a framework agreement and respond to call-off requirements. Experience coordinating mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation activities would be relevant, alongside the ability to manage maintenance works safely and reliably for an infrastructure owner. The stated suitability position indicates that the buyer viewed this requirement as requiring an organisation larger or more established than a typical SME or voluntary-sector provider. Familiarity with public-sector framework delivery would also strengthen a supplier’s position.
