## Summary

The Environment Agency commissioned a baseline user survey for the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme. The survey is intended to establish how people use the site before construction, so use can be compared with site use after the scheme is built. The scheme is planned for the west of Oxford and includes a new stream, wetland area, meadows and woodlands, together with a new footpath and cycleway. This is a research and survey services requirement, specifically survey delivery. The work concerns gathering evidence about use of this particular outdoor site and its new public infrastructure, rather than designing or constructing the flood scheme itself. The contracting buyer is the Environment Agency.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Traffic Survey Partners (TSP) Ltd. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, with an awarded value of £34,000 excluding VAT (£40,800 including VAT). Its period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender was conducted below the applicable threshold; the specific procedure is not described beyond that. There was one lot, covering the survey requirement. The procurement data does not state an evaluation basis or participation requirements. The contract is recorded as active, and the award is also active.

This award demonstrates demand from the Environment Agency for baseline research into how people use a developing outdoor site, with findings intended to support comparison before and after construction. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver practical site-user surveys and produce a reliable baseline that can be compared with later survey results. Relevant experience would include collecting evidence about visitors’ use of mixed natural and public-access environments, such as wetlands, meadows, woodland, footpaths and cycleways, in a way suited to the specific site. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that a small business was selected for this single-lot survey services contract. Suppliers whose core business is construction of flood defences or landscape works, without survey capability, would be less closely aligned with the requirement.

## Notice
