Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon commissioned surface-water modelling and an options appraisal for the Colham Green catchment, following a feasibility assessment of a flood-alleviation scheme. The work covers stages 2 and 3 of the project, as defined in the initial feasibility proposal submitted in 2025. It is environmental engineering consultancy, focused on assessing surface-water conditions and appraising options for the catchment. Delivery is in Hillingdon, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Metis Consultants Limited. Hillingdon used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August to 30 November 2026. Its value is £48,720 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. The procurement was a single lot, covering the modelling and options-appraisal work. The award records the services as environmental engineering consultancy; no specific evaluation criteria are set out.

For firms tracking repeat work from Hillingdon, this award shows demand for specialist environmental engineering consultancy on flood-alleviation planning: surface-water modelling followed by appraisal of potential options for a defined catchment. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the technical ability to model surface-water behaviour and develop and compare practical flood-management options, as well as experience delivering work that follows a feasibility assessment. The requirement was packaged as one small, focused consultancy assignment rather than several lots. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this procurement, so suppliers should not treat it as evidence of an open competitive route. Relevant credentials would centre on demonstrable modelling and appraisal expertise and the capacity to complete both project stages for a local-authority catchment scheme.
