Currently in the planning stage, key dates include an engagement deadline of 26th August 2022. This procurement encompasses various industry sectors such as engineering works and construction, aimed at locations across different regions of the United Kingdom, including the North East, London, and the South West. This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in engineering and construction services. Businesses specialising in areas such as MEICA (Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation), marine construction, civil engineering services, and environmental consultancy are particularly well-suited to compete. Moreover, the active market engagement encourages suppliers to register their interest and potentially shape future procurement practices, setting the stage for tangible growth within the sector as formal procurement exercises are expected to commence from October 2022 onwards. ## Notice The Environment Agency has commenced work on the renewal and /or replacement of the Frameworks it uses to deliver capital and revenue programmes under the national Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) strategy. As part of this work, a review is being undertaken to develop commercial models that are fit for the future and aligned with the future business needs. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) commences our market engagement to:- - notify the market of the upcoming renewals programme, and - invite suppliers to register their interest in participating in engagement exercises that will help to shape the future frameworks.

Suppliers are notified that: participating in this market sounding exercise will not guarantee short-listing at a later stage in the procurement; the EA reserves the right not to proceed with any subsequent procurement; the EA will not meet any costs incurred by any party in responding to this notice. To assist the EA in shaping the future framework requirements, organisations interested in delivering any of the services listed are asked to register their interest and respond to a short pre-tender questionnaire by emailing ross.beavis@environment-agency.gov.uk Suppliers are asked to respond to the questionnaire no later than 26th August.
