Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned client support services in the East of England through a project management consultancy requirement. The work sits within the agency’s framework lot for client support services and is described as a competitive tender call-off. The procurement is for services, with delivery identified in the East of England. The requirement is associated with Mott MacDonald, the selected supplier, and is focused on providing client support rather than goods or construction works. The published description does not break the work into specific tasks or outputs, so its scope is best understood as client support services under the relevant framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mott MacDonald Ltd on 21 September 2026. The awarded value is £519,801.60. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The Environment Agency used a selective procedure, making a competitive call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 4 June 2026 at 5pm. The contracting process is recorded as one client support services requirement, without a separate lot structure in the published details. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No award-scoring criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows that the Environment Agency buys client support services through competitive call-offs from its framework, with a requirement delivered in the East of England. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate relevant client-support and project-management consultancy capability, and the capacity to deliver a substantial, year-long service for a public-sector client. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, while the buyer marked the opportunity unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this indicates that suppliers should assess whether they can meet the scale and organisational expectations associated with this route. Experience working within framework call-off competitions and supporting the Environment Agency’s client-side needs would be commercially relevant.
