Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency bought additional cost-estimating services for its in-house estimating function, supporting the agency’s Commercial and Framework management team. This is specialist consultancy and technical analysis work focused on cost estimation; the stated purpose is to help deliver the team’s estimating service. The procurement was managed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. It is described as national in scope, so the requirement is for services supporting the Environment Agency across its national remit rather than delivery at a named local site.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Turner & Townsend Project Management Limited on 8 October 2026. The award value is £534,934.70 excluding VAT (£641,921.64 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2027, with provision for an extension or extensions of up to a further 12 months, to no later than 7 October 2028. The agency used a competitive award under an existing framework, through a selective procedure. The contract is a single lot for cost-estimating services. The published details do not state a separate evaluation formula or weighting.

This award shows demand from the Environment Agency for specialist cost-estimating support to supplement its in-house commercial and framework management capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience providing cost estimates and technical analysis or consultancy, and the capacity to support a national public-sector client’s estimating function. The successful supplier is a large project management company, indicating that established consultancy capability was able to meet the requirement; the award does not establish that a particular accreditation or technical qualification was required. The work is suited to firms able to integrate with an in-house team and provide additional estimating services under a framework route. Suppliers should assess whether they have access to the relevant framework and can deliver comparable specialist support at this scale.
