The Environment Agency (EA) has published the commercial strategy for its 2025 to 2035 investment programme and asset management.

The 10-year plan sets out how the Agency procures, manages contracts and works with suppliers on its Flood and Coastal Erosion Management programme.

Scope of the strategy covers:

• a structured strategic model that ensures alignment and consistency, and supports building-in best practice across contract and framework delivery
• commitment to becoming a mature, intelligent client that maximises value in every commercial decision, supported by a clear capability-building pathway through our active plans
• recognition that commercial capability, and the responsibility to apply it, extends beyond commercial teams and is shared across the organisation
• proportionate approach that recognises the diversity of EA procurements – applying the principles of the strategic model flexibly to suit the scale, complexity, and context of each procurement
