Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned research and consultancy to assess air-pollution risks associated with local thermal flows at sites it regulates. The work examines the effect of explicitly including or excluding LTAFs in modelling and assessment, and how any differences could affect risks to receptors and the Agency’s assessments and decisions. This is an environmental research and risk-assessment service, classified under research and development services and related consultancy (CPV 73000000). The contracting process has one lot. The buyer is the Environment Agency. The requirement is tied to sites regulated by the Agency; no specific delivery location is identified.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to WSP UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 19 March 2027. Its value is £95,000 excluding VAT (£114,000 including VAT). The Environment Agency used a selective route, making a below-threshold award under a framework; the award was non-competitive. There was one lot, and its status is complete. The published description states the research questions the project is intended to address, but this release does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. The contract is active.

For suppliers positioning themselves for comparable Environment Agency work, this award shows demand for applied environmental research and consultancy focused on air-pollution risk assessment at regulated sites. Credible capability would include assessing how modelling assumptions—particularly the treatment of LTAFs—change predicted risks to receptors, and explaining the implications for regulatory assessment and decision-making. Suppliers would need to deliver analytical work that is relevant to the Agency’s regulatory context and communicate findings clearly enough to support judgements. The award was made through a framework rather than an open competition, so access to relevant framework routes is commercially important for this type of requirement. The selected supplier, WSP UK Ltd, is a large firm, indicating that a substantial consultancy provider has delivered this work; the project description does not state specific accreditations or technical qualifications.
