UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned a national waste crime survey as a research and consultancy service. The work supports the agency’s Chief Scientist’s Group in evaluating how effective interventions are at reducing crime in the waste sector. It is intended to gather insight from the waste industry and people or organisations that may be affected by waste crime, helping the agency understand the nature and scale of the problem and perceptions of its response. The requirement covers research into a varied and complex area where crime is difficult to observe completely. Delivery is for the Environment Agency’s national waste crime work in England, managed by the Environment Agency as the public sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to SYSTRA Ltd. It used a selective, non-competitive below-threshold award under a framework. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £37,350 excluding VAT, or £44,820 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the national waste crime survey. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was handled as a direct award through the framework rather than an open competition, so the commercial route was established framework access and selection of a supplier able to deliver the specified research and related consultancy services.

This award indicates demand from the Environment Agency for evidence-led research into waste crime, including survey design or delivery, engagement with the waste industry and potential victims, analysis of difficult-to-observe criminal activity, and assessment of intervention effectiveness. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability in research and related consultancy, with the capacity to gather and interpret insight at national scale. Experience of public policy evaluation, environmental or waste-sector issues, crime or compliance research, and translating survey findings into practical understanding would be relevant. Because the route used a framework direct award, suppliers targeting future requirements should also consider framework participation and the ability to meet its call-off requirements.
