## Summary

The Environment Agency has concluded a procurement process for the project titled "RDE1020 - Phase 0 Scoping Study: Land Value Uplift and alternative funding capture." The contract, awarded by Defra, involves research and development consultancy services focused on flood risk management and nature-based interventions. The tender, classified under CPV code 73200000, has progressed to the award stage, with Jeremy Benn Associates Limited (t/a JBA Consulting) selected as the supplier. The procurement followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include a tender end date on 29 January 2026, and the contract period spans from 30 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. The project's delivery areas encompass the UK and international locations including Europe and the Channel Islands, among others.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth in the research and consultancy sector, particularly for firms specialising in environmental and land management services. Companies with expertise in land value analysis, flood risk management, and nature-based solutions are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Although this particular contract does not specify suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, it demonstrates the Environment Agency's interest in identifying innovative ways to bolster land value through environmental interventions, offering a substantial value of £48,609.80. Businesses operating within the specified delivery areas, especially those with international capabilities, could find strategic advantages in pursuing comparable opportunities in upcoming procurement cycles.
