The programme covers flood defence, waterways and water resources capital works. It begins in April 2007 and will last for four years with the option of a four-year extension.

The Environment Agency said that over 70 contracts had expressed an interest in the framework while the shortlist had 13 names on it.

Nickki Brown, who was project manager for the NCF2 procurement programme said: “The final seven contractors have been selected based on their ability to meet our requirements on quality and price."

She explained: "This will ensure that they are best placed to succeed in the challenge of delivering a diverse programme of work which includes watercourse maintenance programmes and river and coastal engineering works.”
