This initiative is vital to maintain and enhance technical resilience in hydrology, identified as a scarce skill within the agency. The procurement process followed an open procedure and was conducted to secure specialised training services with the procurement stage now at the award phase. The awarded contract will commence on 1st July 2026 and run through to 30th June 2029, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. This tender, valued at £240,000 gross, was awarded to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, a large supplier located in Skipton, UK, confirming their role as the technical training service provider. This procurement opens opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those skilled in hydrology, to showcase and leverage technical expertise within a government framework. It presents growth potential for large enterprises with established capacity and reputation in delivering degree-level scientific courses. Businesses that are able to navigate the public procurement landscape and demonstrate flexibility, technical finesse, and strategic communications skills will find this type of tender a fruitful avenue for growth in collaboration with the public sector. ## Notice The Environment Agency requires the delivery of its Hydrology Training Programme to maintain and enhance technical resilience. This programme was established following the Hydrology Review (2008), which identified hydrology as a critical business risk and a scarce skill within the Environment Agency. ### Planning Information We require a contract for delivery of the Environment Agency’s existing Hydrology Training Programme. We currently own training materials for a 7-course programme of hydrology training, which consists of specialist degree-level scientific content. These courses need to be taught by industry-recognised hydrology experts with experience of education. This is a highly specialised niche technical skill. Previous contract was on the old Mapping and Modelling (C13077) The proposed route to market is a Competitive Flexible Procedure to allow the use of a Preferred Supplier Stage where any weaknesses in the supplier’s tender can be addressed and limited negotiation can take place. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056339-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 28 Apr 2026 | | Future notice date | 18 Mar 2026 | | Award date | 2 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 30 Jun 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | £200,000 | | Contracts value | £200,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ENVIRONMENT AGENCY | | 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 | JEREMY BENN ASSOCIATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80510000 - Specialist training services ## Release History - 15 Jun 2026 at 15:37 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056339-2026 - 3 Jun 2026 at 10:05 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052223-2026 - 2 Apr 2026 at 09:05 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030698-2026 - 2 Apr 2026 at 08:49 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030687-2026 - 2 Apr 2026 at 08:46 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030686-2026 - 25 Mar 2026 at 16:10 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027489-2026 - 17 Mar 2026 at 12:59 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024027-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056339-2026 15th June 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052223-2026 3rd June 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030698-2026 2nd April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030687-2026 2nd April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030686-2026 2nd April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027489-2026 25th March 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024027-2026 17th March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
