## Summary

The Environment Agency procured construction works to prevent flooding and address erosion along the River Tame, under the title Forge Mill Construction 1. The work is categorised as flood-prevention works (CPV 45246400) and falls within the construction sector. Delivery is associated with Birmingham and the East Midlands. The requirement concerns physical river and flood-protection works rather than consultancy, routine maintenance or the supply of standalone goods. It is therefore relevant to contractors with experience of civil engineering, watercourses, riverbank protection and flood-risk infrastructure, particularly businesses able to deliver construction activities in the Environment Agency’s operational area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Forkers Ltd on 4 September 2026 for £182,566.69, including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The recorded tender value is also £182,566.69. The process is marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the awarded flood-prevention construction requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined Environment Agency requirement for specialist construction addressing flood prevention and river erosion. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical civil-engineering capability, experience working in or around watercourses, and the resources to manage riverbank or associated flood-protection construction safely and to the required standard. Access to the relevant framework route is commercially important because this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off rather than through an open tender. The buyer’s assessment marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that future competitors should be able to demonstrate substantial organisational capacity and delivery capability.
