## Summary

The procurement process involves Kent County Council, which is seeking a consultancy for the redevelopment of the Severe Weather Impact Monitoring System (SWIMS) IT system. This tender, titled "TP18027 - Consultancy Support Services for Severe Weather Impact Monitoring System IT System," falls under the telecommunication consultancy services category and has a total value of £40,000. The contract is based in Maidstone, South East England, and currently stands at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 28 November 2018. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 3 December 2018 and conclude on 1 March 2019.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy and system redevelopment, particularly those focused on public sector services. Companies that possess expertise in decision-support tools, data collection systems, and adaptation strategies for severe weather would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With increasing emphasis on climate resilience, businesses addressing these areas may find this an advantageous opportunity to expand their operations and establish partnerships with public sector entities.

## Notice

Through this specification, the Council would like to contract a consultancy to redevelop the SWIMS IT system. SWIMS was designed as a decision-support tool and data input and collection IT system for Kent's public-sector services to record the costs, impacts and responses to severe weather events. Accessing the system through an online portal, users can input qualitative and quantitative data including: the impact on the Kent community (e.g. flooded homes), reputational impacts (e.g. compliments/complaints received) and how their service or organisation responded to an event. Through data entered into SWIMS, organisations/services should be able to build up a picture of their key vulnerabilities to severe weather and develop clear business cases for taking adaptation action.
