GMCA 1134 North West Community Flood Resilience Engagement Support Services

Description

Key Objectives The service aims to achieve the following outcomes: • Increased community resilience to flooding and coastal change through adapted engagement approaches to improve their understanding of flood risk, including where and why flooding may occur. • Improved preparedness at individual and community levels, including awareness of emergency actions, insurance, and property resilience measures. • Greater community contribution to community-level flood risk management interventions (e.g. sustainable drainage, rain gardens, natural flood management). • Strengthened community capability to develop and maintain community flood groups, action plans, and mutual aid structures. • Enhanced recovery outcomes, enabling households and businesses to recover more quickly following flooding. • Greater awareness and uptake of national and local support mechanisms, including property flood resilience, flood warnings, and online resources such as The Flood Hub. To inform responses, GMCA will be conducting a market engagement webinar event which interested suppliers can choose to attend. This will take the form of a presentation to explain high level detail of the commission, and an opportunity for individual conversations (time slotted). The Market Engagement webinar event will take place on Wednesday 1 April 2026, at 09:00.
