## Summary

Bassetlaw District Council procured specialist services to support community engagement in developing a flood resilience group. The requirement is for a supplier able to work with communities affected by flooding, help organise and develop a local resilience group, and provide advice associated with environmental engineering consultancy. The buyer is the council serving Bassetlaw, based in Worksop. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a service contract rather than a works or goods purchase. The appointed provider is the National Flood Forum, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise. The requirement will interest organisations specialising in flood resilience, community engagement, public participation, environmental consultancy or related support for communities and local authorities.

The procurement has been completed and one supplier was appointed for the single lot. Bassetlaw District Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The contract was awarded to National Flood Forum and signed on 11 May 2026. It runs from 11 May 2026 to 7 August 2027. Its value is £27,000 excluding VAT, or £32,400 including VAT. The award is for services classified as environmental engineering consultancy. Evaluation resulted in an active award and active contract, with the tender and lot recorded as complete. The contract period and awarded value indicate a defined, medium-term requirement for flood resilience group development and community engagement rather than a large infrastructure project.

This procurement shows that Bassetlaw District Council uses specialist external support to build community capability around flood resilience. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience engaging residents and community organisations on flood risk, establishing or developing resilience groups, and translating technical environmental or flood-related issues into practical local action. Strong community facilitation, stakeholder management and partnership-working skills would be important, alongside the ability to advise a local authority and coordinate activity across the East Midlands. Experience in environmental engineering consultancy or flood resilience would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier is a large voluntary, community and social enterprise, showing that the requirement can suit organisations with a community-focused operating model as well as conventional technical consultancies.
