## Summary

The Environment Agency, as a national agency responsible for environmental protection in the UK, is planning to establish a Technical, Environmental and Commercial Services Framework. This framework aims to provide technical, environmental, and commercial services through three separate lots. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for submission of questionnaires set for Monday 13th May 2024.

This upcoming procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses offering services such as engineering design, project management consultancy, health and safety consultancy, and construction project management to compete. Interested organisations can express their interest in delivering services under the framework and provide feedback to influence the formal procurement process. The Environment Agency is seeking to identify critical success factors and new approaches from the market to enhance service delivery within the framework.

## Notice

This Prior Information Notice ('PIN') is in relation to the establishment of a new Technical, Environmental and Commercial Services Framework Agreement ('the Framework') for the Environment Agency ('the EA').

The purpose of this pre-market engagement activity is to provide organisations with an opportunity to express an interest in delivering the requirements under the Framework whilst also informing the market of the updated scope of services and explore market feedback on specific aspects. This will assist in identifying critical success factors, new approaches and potential barriers to delivery, all of which shall be considered in the formal procurement process. 

To receive access to a Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire along with further information regarding the Framework, please contact: chidi.agomo@defra.gov.uk

The deadline for submission of questionnaires is 10:00hrs on Monday 13 May 2024.
