Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency, with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs leading procurement, funded agricultural and wider-sector engagement in the Water Resources South East (WRSE) programme. The work supports regional water-resources planning, with the aim of ensuring that agricultural and other sector needs are reflected in future Regional Water Resources Plans. Activities cover participation in regional governance, assessment of Local Resource Options, stakeholder engagement and water-resilience initiatives. This is environmental consultancy and programme-support work, focused on integrating water users’ needs into planning across South East England. The requirement sits within an established regional programme that coordinates water-resources planning and engagement.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to South East Water. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, using a single tender action because WRSE was described as uniquely positioned to integrate the work into its existing regional planning, governance and stakeholder arrangements. The award relates to one lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £59,999 excluding VAT and £71,998.80 including VAT. The published information does not give a separate award date or set out scored evaluation criteria; the stated basis for the direct award is WRSE’s established coordinating role and ability to deliver through existing arrangements.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for the Environment Agency, this award shows demand for practical support that connects agricultural and other sector interests with regional water-resources planning. A credible provider would need to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders, contribute to regional governance, assess Local Resource Options and understand water resilience and planning needs. Experience working within established regional programmes and coordinating with existing planning structures would be particularly relevant: the stated rationale for selecting South East Water was its position within WRSE’s current arrangements. The requirement is a focused consultancy and engagement package rather than a broad water infrastructure contract, so providers should be able to combine sector knowledge with facilitation and assessment capability at a contained scale. The contract was awarded without competition, which is relevant context for understanding this procurement route.
