Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract titled "RDE949 - NTS Data Analysis & PEWS Integration" has been awarded to the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) by the Environment Agency. This project focuses on providing bespoke data analysis and automated data tools as part of research and development consultancy services, with the primary objective of integrating NTS analysis findings into the PEWS for chemicals. This procurement falls under the services category and covers a broad geographic scope, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The award process was completed with the award notice published on 13 January 2026, and the contract period is scheduled from 18 January 2026 to 31 March 2026.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for organisations specialising in research, data analysis, and development consultancy within the environmental sector. While the contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, businesses that offer innovative solutions in data integration and environmental monitoring may find valuable insights in the outcomes of this process. The alignment with public sector needs, especially in the area of chemical monitoring and data analysis, could lead to further opportunities within similar contracts issued by agencies such as the Environment Agency. Additionally, organisations interested in participating in future tenders should focus on building capabilities that can meet selective procurement criteria effectively.
