Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency bought client support services for its East Hub Delivery Programme, with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs carrying out the procurement on its behalf. The work is to provide senior project managers (PM1) and project managers (PM2) within the Agency’s Project and Programme Delivery team, supporting the successful completion of projects. The programme covers Flood and Coastal Risk Management, water resources, environment and navigation. The service is project management consultancy, rather than construction or the supply of equipment. The requirement centres on providing project-management capacity to support delivery across these programme areas; the procurement identifies one lot for the services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mott MacDonald Limited on 28 September 2026 through a competitive award under a framework, using a selective procedure. The awarded value is £519,801.60 excluding VAT (£623,761.92 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with extensions of up to 12 months possible until the framework ends; the maximum extent date is 30 September 2030. This was a single-lot award. The published process information describes the service and framework route but does not set out an evaluation basis, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be reported here.

For project-management consultancies and providers able to supply experienced practitioners at both senior project manager (PM1) and project manager (PM2) levels, this award shows the Environment Agency’s demand for additional capacity within a project and programme delivery team. Relevant experience should align with delivery of projects across flood and coastal risk management, water resources, environment or navigation, and with supporting successful project completion in a programme setting. Suppliers would need to be able to provide people who can work within the Agency’s delivery team, rather than offer an unrelated consultancy service. The award went to a large consultancy through a competitive framework call-off, indicating the importance of framework access and the ability to resource multiple project-management levels.
