Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Biodiverse Winstead - Collaborative Agreement" involves the Environment Agency, located at Seacole Building, 2 Marsham Street, London. Managed by the Defra Group Commercial on behalf of the Environment Agency, this process is focused on enhancing biodiversity within the Winestead catchment. Classified under the environmental services category (CPV Code: 90700000), this tender is at the award stage with the process having a direct award procurement method. The contract is valued at £246,000 gross with a contract period starting from 2nd July 2026 to 30th June 2028. The procurement aims to deliver services that include habitat improvement and climate change resilience interventions across South Holderness. The standstill period ends on 30th June 2026, with the contract signature scheduled for 2nd July 2026.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for service providers in the environmental and ecological sectors, particularly SMEs with expertise in biodiversity and land management. The project requires technical expertise in catchment management and stakeholder engagement, making it ideal for organisations experienced in environmental consultancy and landscape improvement projects. Given the direct award nature and the involvement of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust as the chosen supplier, businesses with similar credentials or those capable of providing complementary services might explore potential partnerships or future collaborative opportunities within the Defra network or similar governmental projects focusing on sustainability and ecological resilience.
