Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned river restoration works for the Skerne River, with the stated classification covering riverbank protection works. The requirement is categorised as construction works and concerns physical activity in the North East of England. The project is intended to restore the river while protecting or stabilising its banks. It is a site-based civil engineering requirement rather than a supply-only contract or professional advisory service. The buyer is the Environment Agency, a public body responsible for environmental protection and water management in England. The named delivery area is the North East, with one delivery address associated with postcode LS11 9AT.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 16 June 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Esh Construction Ltd on 6 July 2026 for £302,502.68 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. There is one recorded award and one supplier. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The outcome is an active award for the full stated requirement, rather than a cancelled or unsuccessful procurement.

This award is useful market evidence for large construction businesses with capacity for environmental civil engineering and river works. A credible competitor for comparable Environment Agency requirements would need to deliver physical river restoration and riverbank protection, manage site operations in a live water environment and complete construction work across a substantial project programme. The procurement route also matters: the buyer used a framework call-off, so relevant businesses would need access to suitable framework arrangements or a role in a framework supply chain. The recorded outcome indicates that the requirement was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, and that a large contractor was selected.
