## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council procured consultancy services for projects led by the Lead Local Flood Authority. The work covers flood-risk mitigation and environmental engineering consultancy, delivered in West Northamptonshire. The requirement concerns extending existing consultancy services rather than appointing a new provider. The services are intended to support the council’s flood-risk projects and maintain compatibility with work already being carried out. The buying organisation is West Northamptonshire Council, a sub-central public authority based in Northampton. The selected supplier, RSK Environment Limited, is an environmental consultancy business. The requirement is therefore relevant to firms providing flood-risk, environmental engineering, hydrology, drainage, or related consultancy services for local-authority flood management programmes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. It used a call-off from the ESPO Consultancy framework 664_21, which has since expired. The council selected RSK Environment Limited for one lot. The award value is £66,687.06 excluding VAT, or £80,024.47 including VAT. The award covers a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award outcome was recorded on 20 August 2026. The stated rationale was that changing supplier would provide different or incompatible services and create disproportionate technical difficulties in operation. Evaluation was therefore conducted through a direct award route rather than a competitive tender, with the requirement focused on continuity and compatibility with existing services.

This award indicates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for specialist consultancy supporting Lead Local Flood Authority projects and flood-risk mitigation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable environmental engineering expertise and practical experience delivering flood-management consultancy for a local authority. The ability to extend or integrate with existing technical work would be particularly important, because the council’s stated rationale prioritised continuity and avoided incompatible services. Relevant firms are likely to include established environmental consultancies with capability in flood-risk assessment, drainage and water-management design, engineering advice, project delivery and technical coordination. Suppliers should also be able to operate within public-sector procurement routes, including framework call-offs, and show sufficient organisational capacity to support the council’s local flood-authority programme.

## Notice

Consultancy services for carrying out Lead Local Flood Authority Projects. The consultancy services were procured under call off via ESPO Consultancy framework 664_21 which has now expired. The contract concerns the supply of services by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to the original services where a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving the services that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing services and the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation.
