The project, funded through the Defra Natural Flood Risk Management Programme running from 2024 to 2027, aims to complete detailed designs for NFM opportunity sites on Bessy Brook by 14 March 2025. These designs will contribute to a Full Business Case submission to secure the construction budget. The procurement process, classified under environmental engineering consultancy services (CPV code 71313000), is currently in the tender stage with an open procedure (below threshold). Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 13 December 2024 at 17:00, and the contract period beginning on 16 January 2025 and ending on 14 March 2025. The project's estimated value is between £20,000 and £50,000, with the opportunity being suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental engineering consultancy services, particularly those experienced in natural flood management. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to apply, as the procurement process is designed to be accessible to smaller and community-driven businesses. By securing this contract, businesses can enhance their portfolio with a high-profile government project, expand their expertise in NFM solutions, and build a relationship with a key governmental authority like DEFRA. This can lead to potential future opportunities within the natural flood management sector and other government-funded environmental projects. ## Notice This project is being funded through the Defra Natural Flood Risk Management Programme, which runs from 2024 to 2027. The scope of this commission is to complete detailed designs for the NFM opportunity sites on Bessy Brook by 14/03/2025, which will then form part of a Full Business Case submission to secure the construction budget. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3cef6a09-dfff-4109-bab0-66758983d61b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 16 Jan 2025 -
