## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed its procurement process for the CBRN Remediation Services Framework 2026, designed to address Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear emergencies across the UK. Situated in London, Defra acts as the central government authority for managing such incidents, enhancing the UK's capacity to respond and recover from CBRN and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) scenarios. This procurement was completed on the 30th of March 2026, and involved multiple lots focusing on services such as chemical sampling and monitoring, chemical remediation, and waste management. The framework agreement extends until the 31st of March 2034, although the government may opt for additional services outside the framework during emergencies. The process followed an open procurement method with a competitive flexible procedure.

The CBRN Remediation Framework offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in hazardous waste services, given its broad scope across various regions, including British Overseas Territories. Companies such as ADLER & ALLAN LIMITED, AMBIPAR RESPONSE LIMITED, and MCQUILLAN ENVIROCARE LIMITED are poised to benefit from this framework, alongside others specialising in chemical and biological remediation and disposal, like ACUMEN WASTE SERVICES LIMITED and ECOLAB LIMITED. The framework supports both large enterprises and SMEs, promising growth for firms capable of providing environmental decontamination services. Participation in this framework aligns businesses with UK governmental protocols, enhancing their visibility and presence in emergency response activities. With the framework set to reopen in its second, fourth, and sixth years, businesses have ongoing opportunities to refine their offerings and expand their market presence within the evolving needs of the framework.

## Notice

The Government will however reserve the right to use other services other than the Framework in the case of CBRN emergency. The Defra CBRN Emergencies Team increases the UK's capacity and capability to respond and recover from deliberate and accidental releases of CBRN materials, and from releases of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) including nuclear accidents, regardless of scale where the incident is in excess of local capability and/or knowledge and authorities request help from Defra services. These services include advice, guidance and access to practical CBRN recovery services to support those who will be responsible for remediation. Defra is seeking to establish a framework agreement of specialist suppliers to provide
