Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency sought a supplier for temporary flood barriers to support flood protection nationally across England. The requirement covers the supply of perimeter barrier systems, classified as floodgates, rather than installation or construction works. It was intended as a single national goods contract, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers would have needed to provide barrier units meeting the specified flood-resistance standard and suitable for deployment at locations across the country. The procurement was intended to establish a supplier arrangement for the Environment Agency’s temporary flood-barrier needs, with standard payment terms applying. The requirement was presented as a nationally coordinated purchase of temporary flood-defence equipment.

The procurement reached tender: the Environment Agency invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission permitted in English through Atamis. The enquiry deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00 and the tender submission deadline was 25 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period was 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially taking it to 1 November 2031. The estimated value was £900,000 excluding VAT, or £1,080,000 including VAT. Evaluation was weighted 40% quality and technical, 20% social value and sustainability, and 40% price. The procurement was cancelled on 15 September 2026 because clarification questions showed that the requirements needed further review and refinement to produce a clear, robust specification before proceeding.

This requirement suited suppliers of temporary flood-defence equipment, perimeter flood-barrier systems and related emergency-response products, including SMEs able to support national delivery. All supplied barrier units had to carry UKCA marking and comply with BS 851188-2:2019+A1:2021 for flood-resistance products and perimeter barrier systems. Bidders also had to demonstrate proven experience and capability, so relevant evidence of supplying, manufacturing or supporting comparable flood-protection equipment would have been important. Suppliers needed the capacity to meet a national requirement and to provide products consistent with a robust technical specification. The evaluation also gave substantial weight to quality, technical performance, social value and sustainability, alongside price. The cancellation means this procurement did not result in an immediate contract opportunity.
