Decadal scale net sediment budget and geomorphic change analysis of SSSI dune systems in England

Description: Decadal scale net sediment budget and geomorphic change analysis of SSSI dune systems in England.It is intended that changes in dune field sediment volume and spatio-temporal variability in topography be assessed and quantified using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data.

Summary: Natural England is seeking a survey and analysis service to assess decadal changes in England’s SSSI dune systems. The work is to quantify changes in dune-field sediment volume and the spatial and temporal variation in topography, using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data.

ES RDE 078 - Evidence review of Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACC) to support fut

Description: Environment Agency self-service direct award. The Environment Agency does not currently permit engineered Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACC) plants, as these activities are not explicitly covered under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR). In October 2025, Defra consulted on proposed amendments to the EPR to address this regulatory gap. Following this consultation, Defra has committed to undertaking further consultation on advancing these amendments. In anticipation of these amendments, we wish to commission a piece of work to gather evidence on Best Available Techniques (BAT) for engineered DACC that can be used for permit determination.

Summary: The Environment Agency commissioned an evidence review of engineered Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACC) techniques to support future environmental permit decisions. The work is to identify Best Available Techniques for DACC plants, which are not currently explicitly covered by the Environmental Permitting Regulations. The review will inform regulatory development following Defra’s consultation on proposed changes to those regulations and its commitment to further consultation. This is environmental research and technical consultancy, rather than the design or construction of carbon capture infrastructure. The buying organisation is the Environment Agency. The work concerns DACC technology and its permitting in England; no delivery site is identified.

ES RDE 160 - Developing Risk to Properties Metric

Description: Environment Agency self-service direct award. The objective of this project is to develop a methodology to quantify flood risk reduction achieved through the FCERM investment programme. It will populate a new 'Risk to Properties' metric which will quantify the reduction in flood probability which is achieved for properties benefiting from different types of investment.

Summary: The Environment Agency commissioned research and consultancy to develop a method for measuring how its flood and coastal erosion risk management investment programme reduces flood risk to properties. The work is to create a new “Risk to Properties” metric, measuring the reduction in the probability of flooding for properties benefiting from different types of investment. This is a specialist analytical assignment for suppliers able to develop a robust way to quantify the effect of flood-risk investment. The procurement is categorised as research and development and related consultancy services. The contracting authority is the Environment Agency; the data does not identify a delivery location.

Work is delivered across Wessex Water’s operating area, including its treatment works and operational sites. The buying organisation is based in Bath.

Greenwich Builds - Phase 2, Years 2 & 3, Wricklemarsh

Description: Batch 2 of Phase 2, Years 2&3 of the Greenwich Builds Direct Delivery Programme consists of 24 units across the following three schemes; Wricklemarsh Road (12), Zangwill Road (6), and Viola Avenue (6). Greenwich Builds now has planning permission for the three sites detailed above. Our intention is to construct these sites to supply the Royal Borough of Greenwich with further new homes for affordable rent. In the interest of reducing the current expenditure on temporary accommodation constructing these new homes is a priority of the Council as is tackling the homelessness crisis within the Borough.

The work covers three schemes: 12 homes on Wricklemarsh Road, six on Zangwill Road and six on Viola Avenue. Planning permission had been secured for all three sites. The council’s stated purpose is to increase affordable housing, reduce spending on temporary accommodation and help address homelessness in the borough. This is a housing construction contract, delivered in Greenwich, London. The requirement is for a complete multi-site build rather than a single small development, making it relevant to contractors able to deliver residential construction across several schemes.

ES RDE 157 - Metrics for Investment in the Water System

Description: Environment Agency self-service direct award. Managing water impacts from droughts, floods and climate extremes via Nature-based Solutions at scale is something corporates are increasingly aware of and in some cases starting to pay for where they are experiencing them. To facilitate co-funding of NbS to manage water impacts, we need to be able to quantify and aggregate catchment scale actions to improve the water-land system and clearly communicate the benefits of doing that. We are currently developing and improving our data and evidence internally (e.g. through natural capital tools, modelling) to allow us to do that better.

Summary: The Environment Agency commissioned research and consultancy on metrics for investment in the water system. The work supports the development of ways to quantify and aggregate catchment-scale actions that improve the water-land system, and to communicate their benefits clearly. It is intended to help enable co-funding of nature-based solutions that manage water impacts, including droughts, floods and climate extremes. The requirement builds on the Agency’s work to improve its internal data and evidence, including natural capital tools and modelling. The service category is research and development consultancy (CPV 73000000). The contracting authority is the Environment Agency; the work concerns water systems and catchment-scale activity, rather than delivery at a stated single site.
