The Environment Agency has awarded a contract for the delivery of its Hydrology Training Programme to maintain and enhance technical resilience with an estimated value of £240,000 including VAT.
The programme was established following the Hydrology Review (2008), which identified hydrology as a critical business risk and a scarce skill within the Environment Agency.
The Agency currently owns training materials for a 7-course programme of hydrology training, which consists of specialist degree-level scientific content. When the contract went out to tender earlier this year the environmental regulator said that the courses needed to be taught by industry-recognised hydrology experts with experience of education, describing it as “a highly specialised niche technical skill.”
Jeremy Benn Associates Ltd, has been awarded the contract, one of three organisations who tendered for the work.
The award decision was published yesterday - the standstill period ends on 12 June 2026.
Current estimated start and end contract dates are 30 June 2026 to 1 March 2029, with further
possible extension options up to 1 March 2031.
