Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured specialist training in water quality statistics (CPV 80510000) for staff working in environment planning, permitting, analysis and reporting, data and evidence, and water quality regulation. The training supports officers who regulate activities through planning assessments, audits and desk-based compliance assessments, and who assess water quality permit applications for new or changed sites. The requirement is for services delivered to the Environment Agency and its officers, with the training also available to other officers who need statistical knowledge. This is a single service requirement rather than a construction, goods supply or infrastructure project. The selected provider is Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, trading as JBA Consulting, based in Skipton.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Environment Agency used an above-threshold open procedure. Four bids reached the final stage, including two from SMEs and one from a VCSE. JBA Consulting was awarded the contract on 6 July 2026 for £112,741 excluding VAT (£135,289.20 including VAT). The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 26 July 2029, with two one-year extensions available up to 26 July 2031. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, commercial considerations at 40%, and social value and sustainability at 10%. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This contract demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for specialist training that combines statistical practice with water quality regulation. Suppliers best placed to compete for a future requirement would be able to design and deliver training for professional audiences spanning environmental planning, permitting, data analysis, reporting and regulatory compliance. Credible capability would include explaining statistics in the context of planning assessments, audits, desk-based compliance assessments and water quality permit applications, including applications for new or changed sites. Providers should be able to translate technical methods into practical learning for officers who use evidence to make regulatory decisions. Organisations with relevant environmental, water-quality and statistical training experience would be well aligned with this buyer’s requirement.
