UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured specialist peat restoration services and associated river regulation and flood control works for the YNE Form C Pont and Blyth project. The requirement concerns a highly complex peatland restoration site, with consultancy and practical works linked to managing river and flood-control conditions. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the Pont and Blyth project. The buyer is the Environment Agency, a sub-central public authority. The requirement sits primarily in environmental and land-management services, with a works element. It was developed with the Environment Agency’s peatland team and required a supplier able to combine peatland knowledge, restoration expertise and delivery capability for a technically demanding site, including work on Ministry of Defence land.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Environment Agency used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One award was made to Northumberland Wildlife Trust. The contract was signed on 6 January 2025, runs from 31 January 2025 to 30 October 2026, and is active. Its value is £49,995 excluding VAT, or £59,994 including VAT. The award covers services and works for the single requirement. The stated basis for proceeding without competition was the supplier’s proven specialist expertise in this peat restoration project, its close collaboration with the Environment Agency’s peatland team, the complexity of the site, and the lack of other nearby Northumberland specialists approved to work on Ministry of Defence land.

This procurement shows demand for specialist peatland restoration combined with river regulation and flood-control capability from a supplier able to undertake both consultancy and practical works. A credible competitor for a future requirement from the Environment Agency would need demonstrable expertise in complex peat restoration, a strong understanding of site-specific environmental risks, and experience developing solutions with a public-sector peatland team. The buyer also valued established project knowledge and close technical collaboration, so evidence of working effectively with environmental authorities would matter. Suppliers would need the necessary approval and assurance to work on Ministry of Defence land, as well as sufficient local presence or operational access to support delivery in Northumberland. The successful organisation was an SME wildlife trust with specialist conservation capability.
