Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has reached the award stage for the 'Thames Modelling Package 24-25'. This contract, valued at £300,000, focuses on design-modelling services for sites including Addlestone Bourne, Griffin Stream-Upper Whitewater, and Hoe Stream Model updates. The project is set within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, taking the form of a call-off from a framework agreement. Critical dates to note include the tender period ending on 14th July 2025, with the contract running from 26th January 2026 to 18th January 2028. The buyer, DEFRA, is based in Bristol, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in design-modelling services, particularly those registered as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), aligning with the buyer's support for such entities. Firms with expertise in environmental modelling and a strong understanding of UK waterways and hydrodynamic simulations are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for business growth, especially those already integrated into relevant framework agreements. Engaging in this contract not only promises direct financial gain but also enhances the service provider’s reputation and experience in government projects within the design-modelling industry.
