This initiative involves significant works for construction and civil engineering tasks across several UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKF, UKG, UKJ, and UKK. Initial expressions of interest are being sought through a pre-market engagement activity not yet a competition, with a Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire due by 10:00 am on 22nd June 2026. The completion of the contract is planned from January 2028 to January 2032. The procurement framework is valued at £1 billion, with a gross value of £1.2 billion, and is anticipated to be governed by the legislative framework established by '2023/54 UKPGA'. This procurement presents considerable opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in construction, environmental services, and engineering sectors, who are interested in securing long-term contracts within a framework agreement. The framework is suited for SMEs and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), offering a chance for businesses to significantly expand their operations and establish lasting partnerships. Companies with expertise in flood-prevention works, landscaping, technical inspections, and maintenance services, among others, are well-suited to align their capabilities with the Environment Agency’s project requirements. By participating in the planning discussions now, businesses can influence the procurement strategy and position themselves effectively for future opportunities within the framework. ## Notice The Environment Agency (EA) is seeking expressions of interest from organisations to participate in pre-market engagement activity in relation to the forthcoming procurement of an Asset Operation, Maintenance, and Response 2 Framework. The purpose of this questionnaire is to gather additional feedback from the market which will help to develop the procurement strategy for this Framework. Please note: This is NOT a call for competition. The procurement remains subject to approval. The EA does not intend to be bound by any information at this stage and makes no commitment to incorporate any recommendations or suggestions within the final procurement documents. All information provided is subject to change including the programme, contract value and is not a guarantee of the level of work that will be generated through any future Framework. ### Planning Information Further information regarding the Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire and supporting information are available upon request.
