This opportunity invites suppliers to express their interest by participating in a short survey, which is open until 16th September 2021. The framework will have an approximate value of £13 million and a duration of four years, with projects covering various areas in England. Interested suppliers must email Adam Wdowik at the EA to register their interest and obtain a link to the survey. This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, hydrology, and related consultancy services. Companies that can provide effective emergency and contingency support, along with proficiency in a range of modelling services, are particularly well-suited to compete. The EA aims to appoint approximately four to five suppliers for the MMF, fostering competition through mini-competitions among appointed contractors. This framework not only offers a chance for growth within the environmental sector but also facilitates collaboration with other Risk Management Authorities in managing flood and coastal erosion risks. ## Notice The Environment Agency intends to appoint a replacement to its existing Mapping and Modelling Framework (MMF) and, prior to commencing the formal procurement exercise, wishes to notify the market of the upcoming opportunity, identify the level of interest in the new framework, and invite supplier feedback on the proposed approach. Suppliers are invited to take part in a short survey, details of which are included below. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A high-level scope of services is detailed below. The framework will have a four year duration with an estimated value of PS13m and will be available for use by other Risk Management Authorities. Suppliers should note that mapping and modelling works related to planned construction projects for the EA are unlikely to be delivered via this framework, with these being delivered under the EA's Collaborative Delivery Framework. This framework will focus more on flood and coastal erosion modelling, forecasting and flood hydrology improvements, and national/catchment scale modelling, mapping and forecasting projects not linked to the development and delivery of schemes that contribute to the target to reduce risk to 336,000 properties in the 6 year capital programme (noting that this approach is likely to differ for other RMA's that may use the framework and which may therefore include pre-construction modelling). FRAMEWORK STRUCTURE The Agency's intention is to appoint four/ five suppliers to a single national Lot, providing a centralised and consistent national approach to deliver all requirements. The Agency expects that the majority of work delivered under the framework will be appointed following mini-competition between all suppliers appointed. It is intended that call-offs will use the NEC4 Professional Service Contract. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS Effective emergency/ contingency support is critical for the successful delivery of the MMF and the EA is considering two options around this: 1: Suppliers provide a 'best endeavours' approach 2: Inclusion of a formal 24/7 standby system ahead of weather events and projected incidents. Additional information: The scope of services includes: - Modelling (Fluvial, Tidal, Open Coast, Continuous Simulation, Overtopping, Surface Water, Groundwater, Sewer, Whole System, Weather) - Wave transformation analysis - Surge analysis - Hydrology - Model Peer Review - NPPF Flood Risk Assessment Checking - MDSF2 - Survey and Mapping Services - Incident Management and Emergency Planning ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021213-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Nov 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £13,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71311100 - Civil engineering support services - 71351900 - Geology, oceanography and hydrology services - 79415200 - Design consultancy services ## Release History - 26 Aug 2021 at 21:45 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/021213-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
