## Summary

The Environment Agency (EA) recently awarded a contract for the "National Enforcement Training - Lot 6" project. This specialised training service forms a crucial part of EA's responsibility to enforce environmental laws in England. The procurement process was completed under an open procedure. The contract, valued at £450,000, was signed on June 19, 2024, with Bond Solon as the awarded supplier.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for firms in the specialist training services industry. Companies with expertise in providing enforcement training and related services could compete for contracts like this. As the EA aims to strengthen its enforcement capabilities, businesses offering training solutions for regulatory compliance and environmental protection are well-suited to engage in procurement opportunities with the organisation.

## Notice

Enforcement training forms an important and high-profile part of the Environment Agency's (EA) responsibility to enforce laws across England that protect the environment and prosecute offenders.

The EA uses its enforcement powers to secure compliance, but also to investigate and collect evidence lawfully that may be used in subsequent prosecution. It wants to stop illegal activity occurring or continuing, redress environmental harm or damage, bring illegal activity under regulatory control (and so in compliance with the law), prosecute and punish offenders, and deter future offending.
