## Summary

The Environment Agency plans to buy hydrodynamic monitoring services for its Anglian Coastal Monitoring Programme, through a single contract. The work covers maintaining, installing and operating coastal monitoring equipment: wave buoys, current meters, tide gauges, meteorological stations and telemetry systems. Services also include planned and reactive maintenance, buoy servicing, data transfer, operational monitoring, reporting, asset management and technical support. The purpose is to keep coastal monitoring data continuous, reliable and available across the Anglian region. This is environmental services work, relevant to suppliers involved in marine or coastal monitoring, measurement equipment, telemetry, field maintenance and associated technical support.

The process is at planning: the Environment Agency has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects a single-contract procurement. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with options for two further 12-month extensions; these dates remain indicative and subject to approvals and procurement timelines. The estimated value is £1,300,685 excluding VAT (£1,560,822 including VAT). The contract is above the relevant threshold and is not divided into lots. The Environment Agency held a supplier engagement session on 30 June 2026 to inform the proposed requirement and procurement approach; relevant information from that engagement is to be shared equally with potential suppliers.

The work is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers best placed to prepare are those able to support coastal monitoring operations across the equipment lifecycle, including installation, servicing, fault response, telemetry and technical data support. The requirement combines field-based maintenance with monitoring, reporting and asset management, so businesses with the operational capacity to cover these functions may be well matched. The buyer’s stated priority is continuity, integrity and availability of coastal monitoring data. No specific accreditation or qualification requirement is set out at this planning stage.

## Notice

These dates are indicative and remain subject to internal approvals and procurement timelines.

### Planning Information

On 30 June 2026, the Environment Agency participated in a supplier engagement session to inform the future procurement of hydrodynamic services for the Anglian Coastal Monitoring Programme. The engagement informed the development of the proposed requirement and procurement approach. An information pack from the engagement session, including the presentation material and questions discussed, will be made available to interested suppliers on request by emailing 
acm@environment-agency.gov.uk. 
Relevant information arising from the engagement will be made available equally to all potential suppliers to ensure no supplier gains an unfair advantage.
