## Summary

The Environment Agency (EA) is planning the Beach Management Framework (BMF) procurement, focusing on works for complete or part construction and civil engineering in the UK. Key components include flood-defences maintenance, marine and coastal construction works. The procurement is in the planning stage, with the current notice seeking market feedback through a pre-market questionnaire due by 10:00am on Monday 20 January 2025. The formal tender process will proceed under the Procurement Act 2023, with future notices expected from 12 May 2025 onwards. The project's estimated value ranges between £360m and £925m, covering potential inflation and unforeseen requirements.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in construction, engineering, and related services. Companies specialising in coastal defence, flood prevention, and marine construction will find this tender particularly pertinent. The process aims to identify innovative solutions and critical success factors, providing a platform for businesses to demonstrate their expertise and secure significant contracts. The EA's commitment to exploring market feedback ensures that participating companies can influence the final procurement documents, potentially reducing barriers and enhancing the project's success. Interested businesses should engage promptly to seize this growth opportunity.

## Notice

The Environment Agency (EA) is seeking expressions of interest from organisations to express an interest in delivering the Framework requirements whilst also informing the market of the updated scope of services for the Framework and to 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.

The value of the Framework will range between PS360m (high confidence pipeline including inflation) and PS925m (medium and low confidence pipeline including contingency such as inflation, unknown requirements and requirements which are hard to estimate in value).

Please note: This is NOT a call for competition.

The procurement remains subject to approval. The EA does not intend to be bound by any information at this stage and makes no commitment to incorporate any recommendations or suggestions within the final procurement documents.
