UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency is procuring design and delivery services for the Glinger Burn Weir Removal Project in Glinger Burn. The work aims to improve ecological connectivity and support migratory fish populations through fish passage and river restoration. Activities cover feasibility development, design, stakeholder engagement, obtaining permissions and construction oversight. The project is being delivered through a collaborative arrangement with the Rivers Trust, with specialist expertise, established local partnerships and landowner relationships forming part of the delivery approach. The main work category is environmental rehabilitation. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is managing the procurement, while the Environment Agency is the organisation funding and using the resulting services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to West Cumbria Rivers Trust. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 28 June 2026, with an active contract period from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded contract value is £63,000 including tax. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender; the procurement rationale was that the Rivers Trust had the specialist expertise, established local partnerships, landowner relationships and experience needed to develop and implement the scheme efficiently and effectively. The award covers the single requirement for the Glinger Burn project, and the resulting contract is active.

This award indicates demand from the Environment Agency for suppliers able to combine river restoration design with practical fish-passage expertise and delivery oversight. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to understand ecological connectivity and migratory fish requirements, develop feasible restoration schemes, produce designs, manage stakeholder engagement and secure the necessary permissions. It would also need to oversee construction and coordinate effectively with landowners and local partners. The selected supplier’s profile shows the importance of specialist technical capability alongside established relationships in the delivery area and experience of implementing similar environmental schemes. Organisations building these capabilities, partnerships and evidence of successful delivery would be better placed for future requirements of this type from the Environment Agency.
