The Environment Agency has launched the early market engagement process for the upcoming procurement of a new flood warning system with an estimated value of £20 million.
The EA has issued a Prior Information Notice of its intention of a planned procurement and to commence the market engagement process (in advance of commencing any formal procurement process) for the next flood warning system.
The Agency is responsible for managing the risk of flooding from main rivers, reservoirs, estuaries and the sea.
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.
At the core of FWS is the message dissemination system used by the EA to send warnings of flooding by text, email and telephone. The EA has a statutory duty to warn the public and EAs partner organisations of risk to life and property because of flooding or the threat of flooding.
The Agency is inviting prospective tenderers to confirm their attendance at a forthcoming market engagement event and complete a market engagement questionnaire.
Estimated date of publication of a formal contract notice is 1st August 2022 – click here to access the Prior Information Notice
