This procurement process is currently in the active tender stage, and interested businesses must submit their bids by 17:00 on 5th August 2016. The contract is set to commence on 26th September 2016 and will last until 25th September 2017. The tender involves a minimum total contract value of £140,000, with an estimated total of £160,000, and requires service delivery across various locations in England. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in logistics and transport services, particularly those equipped to manage complex supply chains and provide innovative tracking solutions. Companies that demonstrate compliance with ISO standards and possess capabilities for rapid mobilization of resources, especially in emergency scenarios like flooding, will be well-positioned to compete. The tender's focus on secure storage and efficient equipment delivery indicates a demand for creativity and reliability in operations. ## Notice The Environment Agency requires a 24/7, 365 logistics service that covers all of England to source, store, move, track and repatriate equipment before, during and after incidents, primarily flooding. We require a minimum of 1500 sq. meters of secure indoor storage space. This will be split across more than 1 storage location for business continuity reasons. Movement of the equipment will be informed by reliable weather and flood forecasting. This will enable us to provide the service provider with a 24 to 72 hour notice period. The service provider needs to be capable of delivering equipment to locations anywhere in England within an 8 to 12 hour window. Equipment varies in size and weight but typical requirements range from between 4 and 32 stackable stillages of approximately 1000 kg each, to any individual location. Some of the equipment requires specialist handling. The service provider also needs the capability to source additional equipment and resources in similar timeframes to support the response. The potential delivery locations may have specific access issues including vehicle size or weight restrictions. The Environment Agency need the ability to track and monitor in real time the movement and deployment of the equipment. Innovation from the market place to establish this would be welcomed. Repatriation of the equipment and access for inspection, maintenance and repair will be essential. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate safe systems of working, and should hold active certifications for standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001.
