Procurement Information

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below. The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations. Explanation: The DfE proposes to award a contract to Sayers & Partners LLP, for the supply of the School Climate Change Flood Risk Assessment, as part of the DfE Flood Resilience Strategy. Sayers & Partners designed, built and own the intellectual property in a climate change model (assessment toolset) which is used to assess the future flood risk to a variety of receptors including schools from three sources of flooding - coastal, surface water and fluvial flood sources. The DfE believes that there is no other organisation in the market that can satisfy the technical requirements of the contract to deliver a Climate Change Risk Assessment report, updating the contractors assessment toolset to assess the future flood risk to schools from three sources of flooding.
