## Summary

The Environment Agency procured civil engineering consultancy services for the Warwick St Johns Brook project, covering the preparation of Outline Business Case and Full Business Case design. The work concerns the development of the scheme rather than construction delivery itself. The named delivery location is in Birmingham, within the West Midlands, with the buying organisation based at Aqua House in Birmingham. The requirement is classified as civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000). This is relevant to consultancies that provide engineering design, business-case development and related technical advice for environmental, watercourse or flood-management projects. The procurement was arranged by the Environment Agency as the public-sector buyer, with delivery connected to the Warwick St Johns Brook project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Environment Agency used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 19 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 19 March 2026. Ove Arup & Partners Limited was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £148,481. The contract runs from 20 March 2026 to 19 January 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £148,481. The published process identifies the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots are identified, so the award relates to the requirement as a whole. The procurement evaluation basis is not described in the available award information.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need demonstrable civil engineering consultancy capability covering both Outline Business Case and Full Business Case design. Relevant experience in developing structured cases for public-sector infrastructure or environmental schemes would be important, alongside the ability to turn engineering analysis into designs and advice suitable for formal business-case decisions. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer favoured an established consultancy able to deliver the full technical and advisory requirement through a framework call-off. Businesses considering similar work should therefore assess their framework access, technical design resources, quality assurance arrangements and experience working with the Environment Agency or comparable public bodies. The scale and single-supplier award suggest capacity to manage an integrated consultancy commission rather than a narrowly defined specialist task.
