## Summary

The public procurement process involves the buying organisation Defra Group Commercial, which has awarded a contract titled "Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme ECI". This contract falls under the industry category of construction-related services and is valued at £1,493,706.11. The contract aims to facilitate early contractor involvement in a flood alleviation scheme and takes place in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, specifically in Birmingham (postal code B3 1AQ). The procurement process has reached the awarding stage, with the contract awarded to John Graham Construction Ltd, trading as GRAHAM, on 1st April 2026. Key dates include a tender period ending on 20th March 2026 and a contract period from 23rd March 2026 to 9th October 2026. The process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for large construction companies experienced in public infrastructure projects. Businesses specialised in construction-related services and capable of handling large-scale projects in the UK would be well-positioned for such contracts. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary/community/social enterprises (VCSEs) might find it challenging due to the scale and nature of the project, forming partnerships or joint ventures with larger companies could create avenues for involvement. The long-term impact of being involved in a project of this magnitude can enhance reputations and lead to further opportunities within public procurement frameworks.
