The contract concerns the continuation of access to critical datasets for flood modelling, forecasting, and environmental analysis. This procurement was conducted through a limited award procedure without a prior call for competition due to the unique nature of the data provided by UKCEH.

It underscores the importance of specialised datasets in statutory duties and public service delivery, especially in environmental monitoring and assessment. Businesses that can offer unique, high-quality data products or services that complement or enhance SEPA's existing resources would be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements. Large organisations that specialise in ecological data, flood analysis, or environmental technology could find ample opportunities for collaboration and growth by aligning their offerings with SEPA's operational needs.
