## Summary

The procurement process, conducted by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), was designed to address flood-defence maintenance works, specifically in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This project, referred to as "Central - AOMR Lot 3 Direct Award 2026-27 - EMD South - Land and Water," utilises a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 27th March 2026, transitioning into the award stage soon thereafter. The contract, valued at £950,000, commenced on 30th March 2026 and ended on 31st March 2026. Key stakeholders included DEFRA as the buyer and Land and Water Services Ltd as the supplier.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those focused on land management and waterworks. While the procurement specifically engaged Land and Water Services Ltd, companies in related sectors can gain insights into participation in future tenders by understanding the criteria and procurement approach used by DEFRA. Despite the project's larger scale not being suited for SMEs or VCSEs, established entities with expertise in flood-defence maintenance would find such opportunities valuable for strategic growth within governmental frameworks.
