Tender description

The EA has used a flood warning system (FWS) to deliver a flood warning service to the public, partners and the media for over twenty years. The current system has remained largely unchanged for many years. FWS is supported by satellite systems maintained by the EA and third-party suppliers in order to provide accurate and up-to-date information to users. This is a complex technology estate, and includes telemetry systems, forecasting systems and services all feeding into messages being issued from the FWS. The capabilities required for the next flood warning system (NFWS) are summarised on the previously published Opportunity notice (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b148b93-eec3-46a5-a07b-26ae51056526).

About the buyer

The Environment Agency is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by Defra, and buys as a central agency for flood risk, water quality and pollution control. Flood and coastal risk schemes are delivered mainly through the Collaborative Delivery Framework, alongside frameworks for mapping, modelling and property flood resilience. These frameworks run through a central contract management system. Commercial oversight sits with Defra Group Commercial, alongside the Environment Agency's own project teams.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Environment Agency's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and research and development.
