Groundwater Modelling National Framework 2026 - 2034

Reference: C32187
The aim of the national framework contract is to ensure that all relevant suppliers are available to deliver the Environment Agency's groundwater modelling programme. This includes SMEs who are not on any existing framework contracts.

The framework should address the imbalances in the supplier market which is currently over-reliant on one consultancy whilst under-using the capacity of others. The framework will allow suppliers and the Environment Agency to resource modelling work which requires scarce skills. The framework will underpin the vision of a national once groundwater modelling service which supports all Environment Agency Areas to an agreed level of service, aligning timescales of model updates to business dri
