Description
The aim of this project is to assess how effectively the current arrangements for managing surface water flood risk locally are working in practice.
Procurement Specific Requirements
The objectives are to:
• Provide independent evidence about local management of surface water flood risk to feed into the cross-Whitehall project, specifically areas 1, 2 and 4 (see above)
Research Questions
The research should address a range of questions under the following themes:
1. Surface water flood risk management aims and objectives, especially what flood risk scenarios are identified and the aspiration for drainage standards/levels of protection
2. Working practices relating to surface water flood risk management
3. Data gathering and sharing across organisations relating to surface water flood risk management
4. Effectiveness of local arrangements for managing surface water flood risk
Suppliers should ensure that they have knowledge and experience of local flood risk management and surface water issues. Although the project is not a formal evaluation, the research should adopt an evaluative approach as the Authority's interest is not only in how surface water is being managed, but also how effective the different approaches taken are.
