OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is currently in the planning stage for the Future Flood and Incident Messaging System, aimed at enhancing environmental protection services. This market assessment seeks to gauge interest across various sectors and will inform the development of a future contracting strategy, which remains subject to business case approval. Interested parties should note that the responses from this soft market test, conducted from 8 October 2020, will not constitute a formal tender. Key contact for this initiative is Hilary Doody, reachable at +44 1786457700.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses focusing on environmental services or technology solutions, particularly those specialising in communication systems for emergency management and response. Companies that can provide innovative and effective messaging systems for flood and incident management are encouraged to participate, as this market assessment could pave the way for substantial contracts once a formal procurement approach is established. Future updates and notices related to this procurement will be communicated, with the next expected in April 2021.
