Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The project titled "Asset Delivery Frameworks" is being carried out by the Defra Network eTendering Portal as part of the Environment Agency's initiative to renew and replace its frameworks for capital and revenue programmes under the national Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) strategy. Currently in the planning stage, key dates include an engagement deadline of 26th August 2022. This procurement encompasses various industry sectors such as engineering works and construction, aimed at locations across different regions of the United Kingdom, including the North East, London, and the South West.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in engineering and construction services. Businesses specialising in areas such as MEICA (Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation), marine construction, civil engineering services, and environmental consultancy are particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, the active market engagement encourages suppliers to register their interest and potentially shape future procurement practices, setting the stage for tangible growth within the sector as formal procurement exercises are expected to commence from October 2022 onwards.
