Summary of the contracting process

The Committee on Climate Change is conducting an open procurement process entitled "Assess the impact of recently-built flood protection schemes in managing long-term flood risk in England." This contract, classified under research and development consultancy services, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of flood alleviation measures in England that have been implemented from 2010 to 2015. Bids for this tender were due by 1pm on 21st November 2016, with the contract period intended to start from 12th December 2016 and run until 31st March 2017. Located in London, England, this project has an estimated value of £20,834.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consulting firms specialised in environmental research and flood risk management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in climate resilience and adaptive engineering solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. By addressing critical aspects of flood management, successful bidders can not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also enhance their portfolio in public sector contracts, potentially leading to further projects in the growing field of climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Assess the impact of recently-built flood protection schemes in managing long-term flood risk in England

Notice Description

The objective of this project is to better understand to what extent recently delivered flood alleviation schemes in England have been designed to support the long-term reduction in residual flood risk. The specific aims of this project are to review a sample of the major schemes contributing towards the delivery of better flood protection to 180,000 households over the 2010/11 to 2014/15 period and understand: 1. The impact of the flood alleviation schemes in managing long-term flood risks, by assessing the current and future standard of protection achieved by the scheme in comparison to what was in place previously. This would include considering how climate change has been factored in to the scheme design, for example the allowances included for future sea level rise or increase in peak river flows at the outset. 2. The extent to which future options to upgrade defence standards are included as an explicit element of the scheme design, for example identified upgrade paths and trigger points consistent with taking a 'managed adaptive' approach. 3. The justification provided to support the choice of the particular engineering solution(s) and standard of protection against other options. 4. To what extent the schemes work with natural processes and deliver co-climate change adaptation co-benefits, such as the creation or restoration of habitats that help absorb heavy rainfall or wave energy, or natural flood management techniques such as rewilding, tree-planting, more natural hydromorphology. 5. The consistency of these schemes with sub-national flood risk strategies i.e. the immediate and longer-term risk management policies identified for the area within catchment management plans, shoreline management plans, and the 2014 Long-Term Investment Scenarios. Additional information: Bids should be sent in time in time for receipt by 1pm on Monday 21st November 2016
