Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency is managing a completed procurement process under the title "OFAS - Virgin Media - Form C STA" to support the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme by facilitating the diversion of key communication infrastructure owned by Virgin Media. This project falls within the works category, specifically involving complete or partial construction and civil engineering work. The process employed a direct procurement method, below threshold and without competition, given its legal basis in 2023 legislation.
