## Summary

The London Borough of Sutton is initiating a tender for the construction of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in schools located in the Carshalton and Hackbridge areas, aimed at mitigating surface water flooding. This project, which is currently in the Award stage, involves the installation of SuDS features at three local schools, specifically Harris Junior Academy, Muschamp Primary School, and Victor Seymour Primary School, during the summer holidays of July to August 2019. The tender, published on 28th May 2019, has a budget of approximately £288,000, with bids due by 18th June 2019. This initiative is part of a broader project funded by the Environment Agency and follows an earlier attempt to tender that had to be abandoned due to budget constraints.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in landscape and drainage construction works. Businesses engaged in landscaping, sustainable drainage system installation, and educational infrastructure development are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project not only aims to alleviate flooding but also intends to provide educational benefits for school children, making it attractive for firms looking to contribute to community-focused environmental solutions.

## Notice

The London Borough of Sutton, together with the South East Rivers Trust, is undertaking a 'Sutton SuDS in Schools' project. The Carshalton / Hackbridge area of the borough is in a Critical Drainage Area and to alleviate surface water flooding, the project will install SuDS features into seven local schools, to attenuate surface runoff. The project aims are: 1. Reduce flood risk to 27 properties in the downstream catchment. 2. Eliminate or reduce on-site flooding in playgrounds in some of the schools in the project, as this flooding impacts learning and the school day. 3. The SuDS features installed in the schools will bring educational or recreational benefits meaning school children will gain an understanding of what SuDS are and their importance. The SuDs in Schools project is in four phases: Phase 1 - initial scoping Phase 2 - design Phase 3 - construction of SuDS in three schools during the school summer holidays July - August 2019 Phase 4 - design and construction of SuDS in four educational establishments during the school summer holidays July-August 2020 This commission is only for Phase 3 of the project. Phase 4 will be commissioned separately. The SuDS tender was originally published in February 2019 however, London Borough of Sutton were unable to proceed as the bids were significantly over budget. The project team have since re-evaluated the works required and updated the specification accordingly. This re-published tender no longer requires the design input that was sought from contractors in the previous tender. This project is grant funded by the Environment Agency and the budget for the works at each school is as follows: Harris Junior Academy PS90k Muschamp Primary School PS90k Victor Seymor Primary School PS108k All bids submitted should therefore be in the region of the PS288k budget.
