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. Contracts are advertised on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender, with major purchases run through Atamis, the Defra group's shared eCommercial portal. 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.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

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.
