Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured under-river tunnel construction works through a single-lot contract. The named work is construction of an under-river tunnel; the procurement gives no further description of the tunnel, its purpose or a delivery location. The selected supplier is Wyre CIC, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is for civil engineering capability in under-river tunnel construction, rather than general construction services. Businesses whose experience is confined to unrelated building work may find this procurement less relevant. The award establishes that the Environment Agency has bought this specialist type of infrastructure work from Wyre CIC.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Wyre CIC on 1 October 2026. The award value is £1,119,000 gross. The contract period runs from 30 October 2026 to 31 October 2030. The Environment Agency used a direct award, citing “form c” and urgency as the rationale. There was one lot, covering the under-river tunnel construction works. The recorded award information does not set out an evaluation score or comparative criteria; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route rather than a competitive evaluation. A contract signature was scheduled for 29 October 2026.

For suppliers considering comparable Environment Agency requirements, this award points to demand for specialist under-river tunnel construction delivered as a works contract. A credible competitor would need demonstrable technical expertise and practical capacity in tunnel construction beneath a river, with the ability to undertake a substantial, multi-year infrastructure project. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the work was awarded to a smaller business, although the award does not describe its qualifications, equipment, workforce or project history. The buyer used a direct-award route for this procurement, with urgency recorded as a rationale, so the outcome does not establish what capabilities or formal criteria would be assessed in a future competition. Suppliers should judge their fit against the specialist construction requirement and the scale and duration of the work, rather than assume general civil engineering experience alone would be sufficient.
