UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned research and consultancy to develop a method for measuring how its flood and coastal erosion risk management investment programme reduces flood risk to properties. The work is to create a new “Risk to Properties” metric, measuring the reduction in the probability of flooding for properties benefiting from different types of investment. This is a specialist analytical assignment for suppliers able to develop a robust way to quantify the effect of flood-risk investment. The procurement is categorised as research and development and related consultancy services. The contracting authority is the Environment Agency; the data does not identify a delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Environment Agency made a below-threshold direct award under a framework, using a selective procedure; the call-off was not competitive. Jeremy Benn Associates (trading as JBA Consulting) was selected. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its stated value is £63,917.50 excluding VAT and £76,701 including VAT. The requirement was arranged as a single lot. The published process description sets out the metric-development objective, but provides no further detail on evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for specialist research and consultancy that can quantify the benefits of flood and coastal erosion risk management investment. A credible competitor for similar work would need capability in flood-risk analysis and in developing a methodology that measures changes in flood probability for properties, with results applicable across different types of investment. The requirement is analytical and evidence-focused: suppliers need to translate investment outcomes into a usable property-level risk-reduction measure. JBA Consulting, an SME, was selected through a framework call-off, showing that a specialist consultancy could deliver this assignment at a contained scale. Relevant experience developing metrics or evaluating the effects of flood-management interventions would therefore be commercially pertinent when this specific requirement returns to the market.
