## Summary

DEFRA procured flood-prevention works to desilt the Grace Dieu, Quorn Brook and Burton Brook watercourses. The requirement covers the physical removal of accumulated sediment from these brooks, supporting the continued functioning of flood-management infrastructure. Delivery is in the West Midlands, with the procurement record also identifying the Grace Dieu, Quorn Brook and Burton Brook sites. The work is classified as flood-prevention construction rather than a supply-only or consultancy requirement. It is therefore relevant to contractors with experience in watercourse maintenance, desilting, river and drainage works, and associated environmental or civil engineering operations. The named buyer is DEFRA, the UK government department responsible for the requirement. The selected supplier was Amalgamated Construction Ltd (AmcoGiffen).

The procurement has been completed and awarded. DEFRA used a selective procedure, specifically a direct call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Amalgamated Construction Ltd (AmcoGiffen) on 4 July 2026 for £118,313.92 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 2 July 2026 to 3 July 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. The requirement was treated as a single procurement rather than being presented as separate lots in the available award information. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need practical capability in flood-prevention construction and watercourse desilting, including the plant, operators and site-management capacity to remove sediment from multiple brooks. Experience of working in or around live waterways, drainage assets and environmentally sensitive locations would support delivery, alongside competent planning for access, waste or sediment handling, health and safety, and protection of surrounding infrastructure. The short delivery window and multi-site scope indicate a need for an established contractor able to mobilise quickly and coordinate work efficiently. The route to market is also important: suppliers would need access to the relevant framework or the ability to participate through its approved supply arrangements. The buyer’s assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
