Description
As per the Property Flood Resilience (PFR) Framework PIN released on the 26 March 2021 and the Asset Delivery Frameworks PIN released on the 29 July 2022, the Environment Agency (EA) requires a route to market to enable PFR schemes to be delivered successfully. It will help ensure that residential and commercial properties are better protected from the threat of flooding.
This PIN details the information and relevant documentation relating to the procurement and commercial models proposed for the forthcoming procurement exercise which have been developed considering previous stages of market engagement. The final commercial model and supporting documents may be subject to further change depending on the feedback of this exercise and any other external factors affecting the procurement. The procurement remains subject to final approvals and governance which this engagement exercise will assist with informing.
There will be two Lots on the new Framework:
- Lot 1: Survey, Options & Quality Assurance.
- Lot 2: Detailed Design and Construction.
The new PFR Framework will be delivered through a Regional single organisation model, aligned to the EA's Integrated Delivery Teams (IDTs). Each of the 6 EA area-based IDTs will have its own Lot 1 and Lot 2 organisation (for clarity, a single Lot 1 provider AND a single Lot 2 provider in each area). These are shown below:
1. North-East (NE)
2. North-West (NW)
3. Central
4. South-West (SW)
5. South-East (SE)
6. East
The procurement will follow the Open procedure. Prior to commencing a formal procurement process the EA would like to update the market. It is the intention of the EA to award a 4 year framework (including extensions). Organisations will respond to each Lot via the Atamis tendering system, with the opportunity advertised via Contracts Finder and Find a Tender Service.
The intended timetable is as follows:
- Publish ITT: January 2023 - March 2023
- ITT Evaluation: March 2023 - May 2023
- Publish Contract Award Notice and issues Notification of Intention to Award Letters: June 2023
- Contract award/ contracts issued: July 2023
- Mobilisation: August 2023
- Go Live: September 2023
In order to gauge market interest we will send this documentation, along with a questionnaire to be completed by 10:00am 12 December 2022. If interested please email: alex.townsend@environment-agency.gov.uk
