The brief

The Environment Agency (EA) is seeking expressions of interest and pre-market engagement from suppliers for its Collaborative Delivery Framework (CDF) 2.<br/><br/>CDF2 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 appraisal, design, technical support 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 and detailed design services will be split across multiple lots which will be divided by value.<br/><br/>Interested suppliers are invited to attend a Market Engagement Webinar at 13:30 – 15:30 on the 23rd of January 2025.

This Webinar will provide an overview of the proposed CDF2 framework model and the draft contracting, pricing and incentivisation approach.

This webinar will be followed by in-person engagement days in Leeds on the 30th of January 2024 and in Central London on the 4th and 5th of February 2025 (locations tbc).

Please note suppliers will be asked to attend only one of the in-person events.

These sessions will give interested parties the opportunity to engage further on the proposed Framework model and request clarity and provide feedback on the proposed opportunity, ahead of the tender process commencing in July 2025 (expected date).

Further market engagement and an issue of the draft tender pack will be undertaken prior to the tender date commencing.
