## Summary

The Environment Agency procured Forge Mill 2, a flood-prevention works project. The scope is identified as works adjacent to the control structure, and the procurement is classified under CPV 45246400 for flood-prevention works. Delivery is associated with Birmingham, at the Environment Agency’s Aqua House address in B3 1AQ, and the East Midlands. The requirement is for physical construction or civil engineering capability rather than goods or routine services. It concerns work for the Environment Agency, whose purpose is to manage flood risk and related infrastructure. The project title is Forge Mill 2, and the requirement was delivered as a single procurement rather than being divided into stated lots.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The Environment Agency selected Forkers Ltd on 21 August 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £141,826.56. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was for works, with the framework call-off route determining how suppliers were selected. The award is active. The recorded suitability assessment does not identify the opportunity as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. A signed-contract document is associated with the award.

This procurement shows demand for flood-prevention construction around a control structure in the Environment Agency’s operational estate. A credible future competitor would need practical civil engineering capability, experience of delivering flood-risk or water-management infrastructure, and the capacity to complete site works within a short, defined delivery window. Suppliers should be able to work safely around existing control structures, manage construction interfaces and deliver robust works in an operational environment. The route to market is also important: relevant businesses would need access to, or a relationship with, an appropriate framework capable of supporting Environment Agency call-offs. The buyer’s assessment indicates that larger, established contractors are better placed than SMEs or VCSEs.
