## Summary

The Environment Agency procured flood-prevention works for the Severn Adaptation Plan, classified under CPV 45246400. The requirement is categorised as works and relates to adaptation activity intended to reduce flood risk. Delivery locations are identified in Birmingham and across the East Midlands in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Environment Agency, based at Aqua House in Birmingham. The procurement concerns a defined flood-resilience requirement rather than general consultancy or routine maintenance. Businesses operating in flood defence, flood-risk infrastructure, civil engineering or related adaptation works may therefore find the subject relevant, particularly where they can deliver work across the stated locations and engage with public-sector infrastructure programmes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Limited on 24 August 2026 for £1,522,068.59, including the stated GBP currency, with a contract period from 24 August 2026 to 24 August 2028. The award is active and covers the single stated flood-prevention works requirement. The published evaluation basis is the selection of a supplier through the existing framework call-off route. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a procurement aimed at established framework participants rather than open market bidding.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful indication of the Environment Agency’s demand for substantial, planned flood-adaptation works in the Severn and East Midlands context. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in flood prevention and wider flood-resilience construction, with the technical resources, delivery capacity and project management needed for a multi-year public-sector works programme. Experience of working to Environment Agency requirements and of delivering complex infrastructure safely would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route to market is also significant: the buyer used a framework call-off and recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Suppliers therefore need relevant framework access, or a role in a suitably experienced larger delivery organisation, to compete credibly when comparable work returns.
