This procurement falls under the diving services industry category and is located within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The award was made following an open procedure, with the contract valued at £540,512 and a contract period extending from 16 April 2020 to 15 April 2024. The tender period ended on 16 April 2020, after which the contract was officially published on 6 April 2020. This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in diving services and related maintenance works. Companies that provide diving and underwater inspection services are particularly well-suited to compete for similar tenders, as the Environment Agency may also require additional work across other areas under their jurisdiction. Businesses with expertise in Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and Reactive Diving Works are encouraged to explore future procurement opportunities in this essential sector, which focuses on the maintenance of vital infrastructure such as locks, weirs, and bridges. ## Notice The Environment Agency has awarded contract for the provision of Diving Services to complete both Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) and Reactive Diving Works for a number of Environment Agency assets, including locks, weirs and bridges within its Thames Area and with a possible requirement for working in other Environment Agency areas as and when required.

Reactive Works are generated by PPM inspection findings, as well as additional construction works requested by Environment Agency areas and departments. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7461d685-6c52-4aa3-a1fa-eb4fcce5276c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Mar 2020 | | Contract period | 15 Apr 2020 - 15 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £540,512 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £540,512 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RED7 INSHORE DIVING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98363000 - Diving services ## Release History - 9 Sep 2020 at 14:50 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7461d685-6c52-4aa3-a1fa-eb4fcce5276c - 6 Apr 2020 at 16:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7461d685-6c52-4aa3-a1fa-eb4fcce5276c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7461d685-6c52-4aa3-a1fa-eb4fcce5276c 9th September 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/821b35f8-2a2b-49df-93ff-1f0ca7f5a05c 27839 Contract for Thames Area Diving Services -Redacted ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/environment-agency ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
