The Environment Agency is inviting construction suppliers to request and complete a pre-market engagement questionnaire by 10.00 am on 17th September ahead of going out to tender with an upcoming £3 billion framework contract for its Collaborative Delivery Framework (CDF)2.
The EA is now seeking expressions of interest and pre-market engagement from suppliers for CDF2 which will deliver asset management activities across the whole of the EA's asset base including
- Flood and Coastal Risk Management
- Navigation and Water
- Land and Biodiversity assets
The framework will provide both technical consultancy services and construction works that support the EA’s asset management, maintenance, refurbishment and construction programmes of work. The framework will be required to develop, design and deliver nature based solutions and more traditional hard engineering based solutions. The framework will be used for construction projects in the range of £1m to ~£75m (upper limit TBC). Construction services will likely be split across multiple value Lots.
The Agency currently expects the framework to be divided into three Lots which will be awarded on a geographic basis to serve the Environment Agency’s regional hubs. Lot 1 and 2 will be divided between 6 geographic hubs. Lot 3 will also involve lots spilt geographically however the areas covered may be larger. Lot 3 may include the option for the authority to run mini competitions for higher value projects.
Lot 1 will provide strategy, appraisal and design services for projects above £1m.
Lot 2 suppliers will be expected to provide simple appraisal and business case services, early supplier engagement to support optioneering, detailed design services, and construction works from a value of £1m to ~£5-10m.
Lot 3 suppliers will be expected to provide business case services, early supplier engagement to support optioneering, detailed design services, and construction works from a value of ~£5-10m+.
The Agency is inviting interested suppliers to complete the short Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire, with submissions no later than 10am on the 17th of September 2024. The questionnaire survey is specifically targeted towards construction suppliers - while it is still assumption that CDF2 will include consultancy services, consultancy suppliers are not required to complete this survey.
Ahead of starting the formal tender process for CDF2 the EA will conduct further market engagement with all interested parties.
