Tender 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. ## Contract award

About the buyer

The Environment Agency is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by Defra, and buys as a central agency for flood risk, water quality and pollution control. Flood and coastal risk schemes are delivered mainly through the Collaborative Delivery Framework, alongside frameworks for mapping, modelling and property flood resilience. These frameworks run through a central contract management system. Commercial oversight sits with Defra Group Commercial, alongside the Environment Agency's own project teams.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Environment Agency's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and research and development.
