Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA procured works for the operation of asset recovery and maintenance in the West Midlands, under its AOMR Lot 3 incident response requirement. The scope covers maintenance works associated with flood defences and the recovery and upkeep of assets managed through the West Midlands hub. Delivery is in the West Midlands, with an associated address recorded in London. This is a public-sector requirement for contractors able to respond to and carry out practical asset maintenance and incident-response works, rather than a supply-only opportunity. Ground Control Limited is identified as the supplier. The requirement is categorised under CPV 45246410, covering flood-defences maintenance works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ground Control Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 19 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was between £50,000 and £500,000, while the awarded value was £50,000. The award date was 21 May 2026. The awarded contract period ran from 20 May 2026 to 21 May 2026. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available data does not state an award scoring breakdown or named evaluation criteria.

This outcome demonstrates a requirement for practical flood-defence maintenance, asset recovery and incident-response capability in DEFRA’s West Midlands operations. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can mobilise suitable field teams, manage and recover public-sector assets, and complete maintenance works safely and reliably in operational conditions. Experience of flood-defence or comparable infrastructure maintenance would be directly relevant, particularly where rapid response and careful coordination with a central government asset owner are required. The use of a framework call-off indicates that access to an appropriate framework route, together with the capacity to meet its conditions, is commercially important. The buyer’s stated unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs points towards established contractors with the resources to deliver this type of requirement.
