## Summary

The Environment Agency procured client support services for its South East flood risk asset management work, under FRAM framework lot 9c. The service is classified as project management consultancy. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs managed the procurement on the Agency’s behalf. The contract relates to one lot and is specific to the South East; the published description does not further break down the client support tasks or identify individual delivery sites. This is therefore relevant to consultancies able to provide client-side support and project management services for the Environment Agency’s regional flood risk asset management programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mott MacDonald Limited on 11 September 2026 through a competitive tender under an existing framework. The award value is £1,545,669.63 excluding VAT (£1,854,803.56 including VAT). The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with a maximum extension date of 30 September 2030. The award allows options described as 1+1+1 and provides for renewal for up to 36 months. The procurement was selective and covered one lot. The published information does not set out the scoring criteria or specific eligibility requirements.

This award confirms demand from the Environment Agency for client support and project management consultancy within its South East flood risk asset management programme, procured competitively through a framework. Mott MacDonald Limited, a large supplier, was selected. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the capacity to support a regional programme and deliver client-side project management services in a public-sector flood risk asset management context. The award itself does not state required accreditations, technical qualifications, named staff, or minimum experience, so it does not establish those as selection conditions. Suppliers already positioned to work through the relevant framework route and able to show comparable programme support capability would be closest to the demonstrated requirement.
