## Summary

The Environment Agency commissioned ground investigation work for the River Slea, supporting the project’s outline and full business case stages. The requirement is described as River Slea Ground Investigations and ESE; the data does not expand the meaning of ESE or detail the investigation tasks. Delivery is associated with NG34 7BP in the East of England. The procurement was structured as a works contract under Lot 2 of the Collaborative Delivery Framework, using an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. This is a site-specific civil engineering and ground investigation requirement for the Environment Agency, rather than a general consultancy or framework-wide opportunity.

The procurement is complete and Jackson Civil Engineering Limited was selected for the contract. The award was dated 9 October 2026 and is valued at £264,492.91. The award data gives a contract period from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027; a separate award entry records an end date of 31 March 2028, so the published period information conflicts. The requirement was procured as a selective call-off from an existing framework, with bids due by 29 September 2026. It is identified as Lot 2, and SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable. No evaluation criteria are described.

For future River Slea ground investigation requirements, credible competitors would need to deliver civil engineering ground investigations and the associated ESE work in support of business-case development. The selected supplier was a large civil engineering contractor, indicating that the buyer has previously appointed a supplier at that scale for this requirement. The route used was a call-off under Lot 2 of the Collaborative Delivery Framework, so relevant framework participation and the ability to work under an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract would be important commercial credentials. Suppliers should be able to carry out site-based work in the East of England, including at the NG34 7BP location. The published requirement does not set out specific accreditations, technical thresholds or capacity requirements; the award alone does not establish that any particular qualification was required.
