UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned specialist research and consultancy services to design and deliver a reusable net zero carbon modelling framework. The model is intended to be transparent and revisable, rather than a one-off analysis, so the Agency can use it for strategic planning, programme decisions, reporting and decarbonisation investment. It will support whole-life carbon assessment of maintenance, refurbishment and asset replacement within the flood and coastal erosion risk management capital programme, and help define the Agency’s most credible route to net zero. The buyer is the Environment Agency, based in London. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and research organisations working in net zero strategy, carbon modelling, infrastructure or public-sector decarbonisation, particularly those able to connect modelling with flood and coastal risk management planning.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective, non-competitive self-service direct award under a framework, described as below threshold and awarded under framework arrangements. Eunomia Research & Consulting Ltd was selected for the single completed lot. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 26 February 2027. Its value is £8,987,750 including gross value, in GBP. The contract is active and the award is active. The procurement concerns services classified as research and development and related consultancy services. The published information records a direct framework award rather than an open competition, so the route to market and framework access are central features of the outcome.

This award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for substantial, specialist capability combining net zero strategy, whole-life carbon analysis and practical modelling. A credible competitor for similar work would need to design models that are reusable, transparent and capable of revision as evidence, assumptions and investment priorities change. Relevant experience would include supporting strategic planning, programme decisions, decarbonisation investment and reporting, rather than producing a standalone carbon assessment. Understanding maintenance, refurbishment and asset replacement in flood and coastal erosion risk management programmes would be important, as would the ability to translate technical analysis into evidence for capital planning and delivery. Organisations with research, consultancy and public-sector infrastructure expertise are best placed to compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

ES RDE 061 - Net Zero Carbon Modelling Commission

Notice Description

Environment Agency self-service direct award. The EA requires a reusable net zero carbon modelling framework to support strategic planning, programme decisions and reporting. A key driver for this commission is the increasing importance of maintenance, refurbishment and asset replacement in the flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM) capital programme, and the need to reflect whole-life carbon in decision-making. This is to support the EA's net zero strategy and delivery planning, enable evidence-based decisions on decarbonisation investment, create a reusable modelling capability rather than a one-off analysis, and support alignment with FCERM capital programme planning and reporting needs. The EA is seeking to procure an experienced and specialist Supplier to design and deliver a reusable, transparent and revisable Net Zero Carbon Model that will define the Client's most credible route to Net zero.
