## Summary

The Environment Agency procured vegetation maintenance incident-response works at Thames Lock sites in the South East of England. The requirement covers responding to incidents involving vegetation and carrying out associated maintenance. It is classed as works, with the procurement classification describing civil engineering consultancy services. The delivery information identifies a site in the BN11 1UR postcode area and other locations across the South East. This may suit contractors providing vegetation clearance, land and waterways maintenance, or rapid-response site services for public infrastructure. The buyer is the Environment Agency, based at Horizon House in Bristol. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 4 May 2026 at 12:00. The estimated contract value was between £65,000 and £160,000 including the stated minimum and maximum values. The Environment Agency awarded the contract to Vegetation Management Services for £65,000. The award date was 13 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process, and the published procurement information identifies the requirement as works. There was one awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for responsive vegetation maintenance at operational lock sites in the South East. A credible future competitor would need to mobilise quickly for incidents, manage vegetation safely around waterways and public infrastructure, and deliver planned maintenance alongside urgent response work. Relevant experience in vegetation clearance, grounds or countryside management, waterways maintenance, and civil engineering support would help demonstrate capability. Suppliers should be able to provide reliable field teams, suitable equipment, supervision and safe systems of work across multiple sites. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist contractors with practical delivery capacity may be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns.
