Notice Title

Next flood warning system

Notice Description

The Environment Agency (EA) is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by Defra, the UK government department which is responsible for improving and protecting the environment. The EA works to create better places for people and wildlife, and support sustainable development. The EA are also responsible for managing the risk of flooding from main rivers, reservoirs, estuaries and the sea. The EA has used a flood warning system (FWS) to deliver a flood warning service to the public, partners and the media for over twenty years. At the core of FWS is the message dissemination system used by the EA to send warnings of flooding by text, email and telephone. It enables the EA to fulfil its statutory duty (under the Civil Contingencies Act as a Category 1 responder) to warn the public and EAs partner organisations of risk to life and property because of flooding or the threat of flooding. The purpose of this notice is for the EA to make known its intention of a planned procurement and to commence the market engagement process (in advance of commencing any formal procurement process) for the next flood warning system. Prospective tenderers are requested to read the prospectus on this Contracts Finder microsite, to confirm their attendance at the market engagement event and complete a market engagement questionnaire by following the instructions within the prospectus.

        "description": "The Environment Agency (EA) is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by Defra, the UK government department which is responsible for improving and protecting the environment. The EA works to create better places for people and wildlife, and support sustainable development. The EA are also responsible for managing the risk of flooding from main rivers, reservoirs, estuaries and the sea. The EA has used a flood warning system (FWS) to deliver a flood warning service to the public, partners and the media for over twenty years. At the core of FWS is the message dissemination system used by the EA to send warnings of flooding by text, email and telephone. It enables the EA to fulfil its statutory duty (under the Civil Contingencies Act as a Category 1 responder) to warn the public and EAs partner organisations of risk to life and property because of flooding or the threat of flooding. The purpose of this notice is for the EA to make known its intention of a planned procurement and to commence the market engagement process (in advance of commencing any formal procurement process) for the next flood warning system. Prospective tenderers are requested to read the prospectus on this Contracts Finder microsite, to confirm their attendance at the market engagement event and complete a market engagement questionnaire by following the instructions within the prospectus.",
