## Summary

The Environment Agency has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for a contract titled "RDE887 - NCF R&D: Lowland Agricultural Peat Rewetting Diffuse Pollution Risk." The contract focuses on research and development consultancy services within the agriculture industry, specifically on assessing nutrient impacts on water quality. This project is of particular interest to those engaged in efforts to comply with the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The procurement followed a selective method, being a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period spans from 2 October 2025 until 28 February 2026. The tender encompasses a broad geographical scope, including the UK and several overseas territories.

For businesses within the research and development consultancy sector, this tender presents an opportunity to collaborate with a prominent governmental agency, the Environment Agency, thereby enhancing reputation and expertise in agricultural environmental projects. While the awarded supplier, Jacobs UK Ltd, is a well-established player in the market and possesses the scale typically seen in larger enterprises, smaller specialised consultancies could find similar projects appealing should framework agreement opportunities arise. Working with government bodies opens avenues for further collaborations and expansion in consulting for environmental and regulatory compliance, making it an attractive prospect for businesses adhering to sustainability practices.

## Notice
