Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement covered incident-response works associated with the operation, recovery and maintenance of assets in the West Midlands, under the AOMR Lot 3 scope. The work is classified as flood-defences maintenance works (CPV 45246410). DEFRA is the buying organisation, with its address in London, and the delivery locations are the West Midlands and an address in London (SW1P 4DF). The selected supplier, Vegetation Management Services, is based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The requirement concerns physical works supporting asset recovery and maintenance rather than a general consultancy or supply contract. Businesses operating in flood-defence maintenance, asset management and incident-response works would find the subject matter most relevant.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12 noon. DEFRA awarded the contract to Vegetation Management Services on 13 July 2026 for £50,000, including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 2 June 2026 to 3 June 2026. The award is recorded as active. The published suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The process is presented as one requirement under AOMR Lot 3, titled Central – AOMR Lot 3 Incident Response – Direct Award – 2026-27 – WMD – VMS.

For a supplier assessing future demand from DEFRA, this award demonstrates a requirement for short-duration, incident-response work connected with asset recovery and maintenance in the West Midlands. A credible competitor would need relevant experience in flood-defence maintenance and the practical ability to mobilise for urgent or otherwise time-sensitive asset work. The route used here was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework and the capability to meet its call-off requirements. The buyer’s assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that comparable opportunities may favour organisations with established framework standing and sufficient operational capacity.
