Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency, a sub-central government public authority based in London, has completed a direct procurement process with Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks. The contract, titled "OFAS - Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks - Form C STA," involves works for the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme, specifically infrastructure modifications. This process, initiated under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, bypassed the competitive tendering method due to being below threshold. The award was finalised on 23rd June 2026, with the contract valued at approximately £4.39 million, extending until 7th April 2030. The procurement category is classified under civil engineering work.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in utility diversions and civil engineering tasks, particularly those capable of managing large-scale infrastructure projects. While this contract itself was awarded directly to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, businesses with similar capabilities and expertise could potentially benefit from the opportunities presented by ongoing infrastructure enhancements in the UK, particularly in transport and environmental adaptation projects. Companies looking to expand their reach in the public sector or those aspiring to collaborate with large utilities can explore possible partnerships or engage in upcoming related projects.
