## Summary

The procurement process involves Sefton Council seeking a Hydraulic Modelling Consultant to address persistent flooding issues in the Churchtown area of Southport. The tender, with the title "A Hydraulic Modelling Consultant," falls under the public utilities sector and is located in the North West of England. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, having concluded the tender period on 1st February 2019. The contract will commence from 14th February 2019 and is set to last until 15th August 2019. The total value of the awarded contract is £38,810, and it was awarded through an open procedure.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in engineering, consultancy, and environmental services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). The selected consultant will develop options to mitigate flooding risks and foster resilience in local infrastructure, ultimately creating pathways for firms with expertise in hydraulic modelling and related services to contribute valuable solutions to Sefton Council's pressing challenges.

## Notice

The communities of Churchtown in Southport have and continue to be affected by persistent flooding. The area is served by the Pool watercourse and a combined drainage system. During periods of heavy rainfall, the drainage systems that are combined are known to back up leading to surface water and foul flooding. This was evidenced during storm Desmond and storm Eva in December 2015 when a number of properties in Verulam Road, Marlewood Avenue and Balmoral Drive were flooded and the highway affected causing traffic disruption. In 2016/17, Sefton Borough Council secured funding from the Environment Agency to investigate the condition, capacity and connectivity of the Pool Watercourse which runs through these areas. Initial investigations have identified that the culverted section of the watercourse had silted up in large sections and has structurally deteriorated. With the information gathered to date the Council is looking to appoint a competent consultant to develop a long list of options which should then be assessed and modelled into a short list of options, with a preferred option being designed. The consultant will be required to provide information to the employee to enable them to easily submit a business case to the Environment agency to secure funding to undertake the scheme. We would expect the assessment and information provided to comply with DEFRA'S green book 5 case business model approach.
