## Summary

The procurement process titled "ECOW" focuses on improving the flood resilience of the River Irwell between Bury and Radcliffe in the North West of England. Managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, this project falls within the "Project-design services other than for construction work" industry category. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with a contract value of £60,000. The contract period commenced on 24th July 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2021, with the tender period ending on 13th July 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations involved in design and consultancy services, particularly those specialising in flood risk management and environmental engineering. Businesses that are equipped to respond to the complexities of water management, infrastructure protection, and resilience planning would be well-suited to compete. Such projects not only enhance community safety but also offer avenues for growth and collaboration with public sector entities committed to environmental sustainability and urban development.

## Notice

This project focuses on a length of the River Irwell between the towns of Bury and Radcliffe to the north of Manchester. A plan of the area is included in Appendix A. In the absence of any formal flood defences, this area was severely affected by the floods on 26th December 2015, with widespread flood damage to hundreds of properties, businesses and key infrastructure. It is estimated that over 700 residential and 167 commercial properties were affected.
