The initiative, falling under the education and training services category, was aimed at enhancing the NEC4 PSC and ECC contract management skills of its project managers. The procurement, executed through an open, competitive flexible procedure, resulted in the contract being awarded to Built Intelligence Ltd, based in Bristol. The contract, valued at £390,000 with a gross amount of £468,000, is set to run from 6th January 2026 to 16th December 2028, with the possibility of optional one-year extensions. This award signifies a transition from the planning stage, which commenced back in 2025, through to the tender stage, and ultimately to the award and contract stages by January 2026. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly in developing and delivering e-learning and classroom-based training solutions. Companies with expertise in creating virtual learning environments and providing continuous professional development resources could find this an advantageous venture, especially considering the optional contract extensions. The emphasis on diverse learning approaches, including webinars and bite-size sessions, indicates the agency's commitment to flexible and accessible training solutions, offering scope for innovative providers to engage with the public sector and enhance their market presence. This endeavour not only supports large-scale providers like Built Intelligence but also presents growth opportunities for SMEs particularly adept in specialist training services. ## Notice The Environment Agency (EA) has identified a need for a selection of NEC4 training solutions to be made available from January 2026 onwards primarily for permanent EA Project Managers. These training solutions will need to accommodate those who need a refresh of their knowledge or who are new to the EA. The aim of the training is primarily to improve understanding/application of the NEC4 PSC and ECC main and short contracts, as well as the NEC4 TSC main and short contracts. However, the EA is also considering the wider NEC knowledge base and how development in this area could further enhance EA employees' expertise. To be consistent with its training provisions across the whole of their asset management portfolio, there is an identified need for staff within its Local Operations and Environment and Business directorates, especially Future Framework, Area and Defra Group Commercial teams who have exposure to and involvement with NEC4 co ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Two 12-month extensions are possible. Renewal: Extensions will be approved provided that the training cannot be fulfilled via the Cabinet Office's Government Skills and Curriculum Unit and will be subject to demand for courses, and performance and ongoing value for money of the contract. ### Planning Information So that the Authority can understand capability in the market and any factors that need to be considered in designing the procurement, please complete the request for information, using this link: https://forms.office.com/e/kJLmrqKyy7 Closing date for survey responses: 01/07/2025 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003454-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 17 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | 11 Aug 2025 | | Award date | 21 Nov 2025 | | Contract period | 6 Jan 2026 - 16 Dec 2028 | | Recurrence | 2030-08-13 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | Lots value | £800,000 | | Awards value | £390,000 | | Contracts value | £390,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENVIRONMENT AGENCY | | Additional buyers | DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BUILT INTELLIGENCE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80420000 - E-learning services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80511000 - Staff training services ## Release History - 15 Jan 2026 at 12:28 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003454-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 12:17 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000270-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 10:41 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000185-2026 - 25 Nov 2025 at 14:20 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076899-2025 - 13 Aug 2025 at 06:51 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048223-2025 - 17 Jun 2025 at 12:57 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032981-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003454-2026 15th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000270-2026 5th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000185-2026 5th January 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/076899-2025 25th November 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048223-2025 13th August 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032981-2025 17th June 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://forms.office.com/e/kJLmrqKyy7 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
