UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned research and development and related consultancy services for the CSF_HYPE project. The work involves developing a new spatially distributed tracer for pesticide simulation. Its purpose is to model how pesticides behave in the environment after on-farm mitigation measures have been implemented to reduce their impact on water quality. This is an environmental science and technical modelling requirement, combining pesticide fate, water-quality protection and spatial analysis. The buying organisation is the Environment Agency, a sub-central public authority. The appointed supplier, Jeremy Benn Associates Limited trading as JBA Consulting, is based in Skipton. The procurement covers one service requirement under the title “ES RDE 071 - CSF_HYPE Development and support”.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure described as a below-threshold award under a framework, with a non-competitive direct award. The single lot was awarded to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited (t/a JBA Consulting) on 13 July 2026. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £49,962 excluding VAT, or £59,954.40 including VAT. The resulting contract is active. The award is for research and development services and related consultancy services. The record identifies the Environment Agency as the buyer and JBA Consulting as the selected supplier; it does not set out a separate scoring or evaluation basis.

This award indicates demand from the Environment Agency for specialist environmental modelling and research to support pesticide-impact reduction. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need capability in spatially distributed modelling, pesticide simulation and assessment of how agricultural mitigation measures affect water quality. Credible competitors would also need to translate environmental science into practical analytical or decision-support tools, and to provide development and ongoing technical support rather than a one-off study. Experience working with public-sector environmental programmes and the ability to combine research, consultancy and software or model development would strengthen a future response. The requirement was routed through a framework and awarded directly, so relevant suppliers should understand framework-based procurement and demonstrate a close fit with the Environment Agency’s technical need.
