UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned research and development, with related consultancy, on the risks posed by orphaned landfill sites. The work is intended to address the lack of clear government policy on what action is needed, gathering evidence at both portfolio and individual-site level to inform risk-prioritisation matrices and mitigation plans. This is environmental research and advisory work rather than landfill operations or remediation. The Environment Agency is the buyer; the research concerns landfill sites, but no delivery location is identified.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to WSP UK Ltd through a selective route as a below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive call-off. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 13 October 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The stated purpose is to develop risk-prioritisation matrices and mitigation plans through portfolio- and site-specific research and evidence gathering. No separate award date or detailed evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that the Environment Agency buys focused research and consultancy to assess environmental risks from orphaned landfill sites and turn evidence into practical prioritisation and mitigation tools. Suppliers likely to be credible for a comparable requirement would need strong research and evidence-gathering capability, the ability to assess risks across both a portfolio and individual sites, and experience translating findings into usable decision frameworks and mitigation plans. The scale is a defined, specialist study rather than a major remediation programme. The route used was an award under a framework, so relevant suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework. WSP UK Ltd was selected for this work; the published award does not set out specific accreditations or technical qualifications.
