## Summary

The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk has completed the procurement process for a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and Water Cycle Study. This project aligns with the pre-production and evidence gathering stages of their New Local Plan (NLP), necessitating an update of existing studies. Operating in the environmental services sector, this project was located in King's Lynn, UK, and underwent an open procurement method below the threshold for comprehensive competition. The contract was awarded to Wallingford Hydrosolutions Limited on 28th May 2026, with the contract period starting on 29th May 2026 and set to end on 26th April 2027, with a possibility of extension up to one additional year.

This tender offers considerable potential for business growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the environmental services industry. The completion of an integrated flood risk and water cycle assessment plays a crucial role in local planning and sustainability appraisal. Firms specialising in risk assessments, environmental planning, and similar services are ideally positioned to compete, particularly those proficient in offering detailed methodologies and project programmes under budget constraints. This contract highlights opportunities for businesses to further engage in public sector projects, augmenting their portfolio and enhancing their market presence.

## Notice

The Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk are required to undertake an Integrated SFRA and Water Cycle Study as an essential part of the pre-production/evidence gathering stages of the Local Plan and in preparation of the Sustainability Appraisal (SA). The Council is in the process of producing a New Local Plan (NLP) and this will require an update to the existing evidence base for the recently adopted Local Plan (March 2025). For this plan, the Council produced a joint Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) with other Norfolk Authorities. A separate Level 2 assessment was also produced to inform the allocation of sites. A current Water Cycle Study exists, but this is now considered out of date and should form part of the wider SFRA review. A Surface Water Management Plan was produced in 2012, but this is now considered out of date and will be replaced by this SFRA review.
