## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is seeking proposals for a tender titled "Understanding the links between economic development and flood risk investment." This project, categorised under research and development services, aims to investigate how flood risk management influences economic growth at both local and national levels. The tender is currently at the active planning stage, with applications accepted until the deadline of 9th September 2022. The project’s contract period is set to commence on 7th October 2022 and will run until 31st July 2023, and the services are to be delivered in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Those with expertise in economic impact assessment, flood risk management, and environmental consultancy will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could offer firms the chance to contribute to essential methodologies that inform future public investments, thereby enhancing their visibility and credibility within the industry.

## Notice

This project will undertake research on how flood risk management and water environment improvement projects can impact local/national economic growth. It will develop a theory of change and methodology to include local and possibly national economic growth in Environment Agency business cases. This project will collate evidence and produce methodologies to enable robust and consistent presentation of economic growth impacts from flood risk management and water environment improvement projects. The intention is to include this in business case guidance for future capital projects. The objectives are to: - Create a methodology to measure the impact of flood and coastal erosion risk and water environments on existing businesses. - Create and compile evidence on impact of flood risk management and water environment improvement projects on local growth and national growth. - Produce a proportionate, 2020 Green Book compliant methodology for use in project business cases to quantify and present local growth benefits and, if appropriate, national economic benefits. This requires understanding of substitution, displacement and leakage.
