Springboard notified Tideway in mid-2020 that due to the impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Springboard business with a consequence being a reduction in resourcing levels and capacity, Springboard would not be able to continue to provide the services to Tideway post November 2020. In order to ensure service provision and effective management of project stakeholders, Tideway engaged Foundever GB Limited for provision of project helpline services from November 2020 - November 2023. With service requirement planned up until mid-2025 and on a diminishing scale across that period, it is Tideway's intention to instruct Foundever GB Limited to continue with provision of project helpline services."
