PROCUREMENT NEWS The Environment Agency splits new works programme into separate operational areas

The Environment Agency aims to create better “places for people and wildlife, and support sustainable development”.

It is an executive non-departmental public body which is funded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra).

The latest hub arrangement by the Environment Agency has combined 30 previous deals and frameworks that cover a wide range of services. These included procurement framework opportunities for small-scale civil engineering and maintenance companies that will be able to provide their services for main river maintenance and pest control projects.

The South Western Hub: Wessex, and Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
