Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has completed a procurement process for an emergency response to an oil pollution incident in Market Harborough. This contract, titled "Market Harborough Oil Pollution Incident (Emergency Response)", falls under the services category, specifically targeting radioactive-, toxic-, medical-, and hazardous waste services. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement with a total value of £96,126.52 GBP. The work was required to be conducted within the East of England and the contract spanned from 21 March 2026 to 29 May 2026, with the award status being active as of 21 March 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in hazardous waste management, particularly those that can effectively respond to emergency situations involving chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear remediation. Although the procurement was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, larger entities with the requisite expertise in handling complex waste services, such as Acumen Waste Services Limited, could significantly benefit from such contracts to expand their operations and reputation in emergency environmental response services. Being able to secure a position as a supplier in similar framework agreements could position businesses to capitalise on future opportunities in this critical sector.
