Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has initiated an open procurement process titled "Marine Macrobenthic Invertebrate Sample Analysis (2025 – 2033)," which falls under the services category of environmental monitoring. This procurement, managed in collaboration with the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, aims to establish an open framework agreement for the analysis of marine macrobenthic invertebrate samples. With its central location in London, the procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 18 September 2025. The framework agreement is set to be under the legal basis of the 2023 Procurement Act, section 49, concluding no later than 1 November 2033.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental sciences and data analysis, particularly those with the capability to carry out technical and commercial tasks. The framework anticipates appointing multiple suppliers through a mini-competition format, facilitating opportunities for continual work and potential extensions up to 2033. Given the emphasis on technical expertise—accounting for 70% of the evaluation—it is well-suited to businesses with a strong technical foundation in marine environmental monitoring. Firms engaged will work alongside the Environment Agency, Natural England, and Natural Resources Wales, broadening their client base and potentially enhancing their market presence within the UK government sector.
