Summary of the contracting process

Defra, a recognised public procurement authority located at 8 City Walk, Leeds, is overseeing a project titled "High Risk Debris Screens - Arup Construction Support", classified under river regulation and flood control works. The procurement method used was a direct, single tender action, specifically targeting below-threshold values. The procurement process was initiated with a tender stage ending on 4th September 2025, followed by an award on 20th October 2025. The contract is active, with a period from 8th September 2025 to 31st March 2026. The project is based in the North East region of the United Kingdom, with a contract value of £31,634.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering and related flood control measures. While the process was a direct award rather than a competitive tender, it highlights potential opportunities for businesses to engage in future projects with Defra through expertise in similar works.
