UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency funded agricultural and wider-sector engagement in water resources planning through the West Country Water and Environment programme. The work covers participation in regional governance structures, assessment of Local Resource Options, stakeholder engagement and water-resilience initiatives. Its purpose is to ensure agricultural and other sector water needs are reflected in future regional water resources plans. This is a water-resources planning and advisory service (CPV 90713100), delivered across the West Country region. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs managed the procurement for the Environment Agency.

The procurement is complete and Wessex Water was selected for the single lot; the contract is active and was signed on 30 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £59,999 excluding VAT (£71,998.80 including VAT). The Environment Agency used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The stated rationale was that the West Country Water and Environment programme is the established regional coordinator and is uniquely placed to integrate the work with existing planning, governance and stakeholder-engagement arrangements. The award covered the regional funding for agricultural and multisector Local Resource Option and water-resources management activity.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for the Environment Agency, this award indicates demand for integrated regional water-resources planning support that connects agricultural and wider-sector interests with governance, option assessment, stakeholder engagement and resilience activity. A credible provider would need to work effectively across sectors and established regional planning structures, and be able to incorporate stakeholder needs into water-resources planning. The buyer’s stated reason for selecting Wessex Water highlights the value of an established regional coordination role and the ability to integrate work into existing arrangements. Suppliers with relevant water-sector advisory capability and strong regional relationships would therefore be well placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market.
