UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned research and consultancy to integrate new Water Environment Benefits values into its key valuation and appraisal tools. The work covers the Common Valuation Framework, Natural Capital and Evidence Metrics, the Economic Appraisal for Chemicals at Sewage Treatment Works tool, the Natural Capital Register and Account tool, Regulation 19 and the Bathing Water Feasibility Model. The purpose is to apply the new values consistently across these tools. This is a specialist water-environment valuation and appraisal implementation service, rather than a general software or environmental consultancy requirement. The buying organisation is the Environment Agency; delivery is associated with its tools, with no delivery location stated.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to UEA Consulting Limited; the contract is active and was signed on 22 September 2026. The contract runs from 26 September 2026 to 15 March 2027. Its value is £114,876 excluding VAT (£137,851.20 including VAT). This was a selective, below-threshold direct award under a framework, rather than an open competition. The procurement has one lot, covering the implementation work across the six named valuation and appraisal tools. The published procurement information gives no separate scoring breakdown or award criteria, so the basis for evaluating suppliers cannot be detailed further.

The award shows demand from the Environment Agency for specialist expertise that can translate water-environment benefit values into practical use across established valuation and appraisal tools. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need strong research and development or consultancy capability, alongside experience in environmental valuation, natural capital and economic appraisal. The work spans several distinct tools, including assessment of chemicals at sewage treatment works and bathing-water feasibility, so suppliers would need to understand how common values can be incorporated consistently into different models and registers. UEA Consulting Limited, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, indicating that this specialist requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large corporate provider. The route was an award under a framework, so relevant framework access would also matter.
