UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured civil engineering works for the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme. The requirement covers payments for diverting a significant number of utility assets owned and operated by Thames Water, so that construction of the flood alleviation scheme can proceed. The work concerns utility infrastructure diversion rather than general construction services, and is delivered in connection with the Oxford scheme. Thames Water Utilities Ltd is the supplier carrying out the requirement. The Environment Agency is the public-sector buyer. This opportunity is therefore relevant to water companies, utility infrastructure contractors and civil engineering businesses with experience of planning and delivering diversions to support major flood defence or infrastructure construction projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Thames Water Utilities Ltd received the award on 9 March 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract is active and runs from 9 March 2026 to 1 December 2030. Its gross value is £1,896,669.97. The procurement has one completed lot covering the civil engineering and utility diversion works. The contract is for works associated with the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme, with the award classified under CPV 45200000 for complete or partial construction and civil engineering work. No competitive evaluation basis is stated for this direct award.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates established demand from the Environment Agency for utility diversion work supporting a major flood alleviation project. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in utility infrastructure diversions, civil engineering coordination and construction-site interface management. Experience working with assets owned and operated by water utilities would be particularly relevant, as would the capacity to manage a significant number of diversions as part of a wider public infrastructure scheme. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate effectively with a public-sector project team, maintain safe and compliant delivery, and demonstrate experience of comparable flood defence or infrastructure construction environments.
