## Summary

The Environment Agency has completed a procurement process to award a contract for the renewal of Flood Modeller software licenses, which are crucial for its Incident Management Forecasting System (IMFS). This five-year contract, commencing on 1st January 2025, has been awarded to Jacobs UK Ltd. The procurement falls under the "IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support" category, and will primarily be conducted within the UK. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the exclusive intellectual property rights held by Jacobs over the Flood Modeller software.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in software development and support for environmental protection systems. Companies in the software licensing and flood forecasting technology sectors could benefit from understanding the specifics of this procurement as it highlights long-term opportunities for engagement with national agencies like the Environment Agency. Although this particular tender was awarded without open competition, familiarity with such processes and maintaining strong intellectual property positions can be advantageous for similar future opportunities.
