UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

JNCC Support Co commissioned environmental laboratory services to analyse benthic marine sediment collected during the 0926S survey of the Central Fladen Marine Protected Area. The work covers testing for heavy-metal contamination, organic contamination and nutrients in sediment samples. It supports assessment of the condition of the marine environment within Central Fladen and relates to material collected through a marine survey. The buying organisation is JNCC Support Co, a central government public authority based in Peterborough. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the requirement focused on analysis of samples from the Central Fladen Marine Protected Area. This is a specialist environmental services requirement rather than construction, supply of equipment or general consultancy.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. JNCC Support Co used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. James Hutton Limited was selected as supplier and holds the active contract. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 9 September to 11 December 2026. Its value is £27,403 excluding VAT, or £32,883.60 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available record does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings. The award covers the environmental analysis service for the Central Fladen sediment samples, and the awarded supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This requirement indicates demand for a specialist environmental testing provider able to handle marine benthic sediment and produce reliable analytical results for a Marine Protected Area survey. A credible competitor would need practical capability in heavy-metal analysis, organic contaminant analysis and nutrient testing, together with suitable laboratory capacity for receiving, managing and analysing sediment samples. Experience of marine science, environmental monitoring and survey-linked sample programmes would be relevant, particularly where results must support assessment of contamination and environmental condition. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large multidisciplinary contractor. Businesses with complementary analytical expertise, marine environmental experience and the capacity to manage a defined sample-testing programme would be well placed for similar requirements from JNCC Support Co.
