## Summary

The Environment Agency commissioned improvements to an inland forecasting model covering the River Wear and the Yorkshire Ouse. The work is a software development service focused on improving mapping and forecasting capability for inland waterways, under CPV 72212326. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and also lists the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The requirement is therefore relevant to firms developing geospatial, mapping, hydrological or environmental forecasting software, particularly those able to work with public-sector flood and water-management users. The named buyer is the Environment Agency, based in London. The service is categorised as a professional service rather than goods or construction work.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, trading as JBA Consulting, on 21 August 2026 for £167,193.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 27 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 10:00. The award is active, and the overall requirement had the same estimated value as the award. Participation was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The procurement was for services, with one requirement covering the model improvement work.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the Environment Agency’s demand for specialist inland forecasting and mapping software. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in software development for geospatial or environmental applications, with the technical depth to improve models used for river or catchment forecasting. Experience translating hydrological or flood-related data into reliable operational tools would be directly relevant, as would the ability to deliver work for a public-sector client across geographically broad locations. The framework call-off route indicates that relevant suppliers may need access to an appropriate framework and the capacity to undertake a defined, specialist assignment rather than provide general software support. The stated SME unsuitability also points to a requirement for substantial organisational capability.
