What is being bought

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 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. <br/><br/>Interested suppliers are invited to complete the short Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire, with submissions no later than 10am on the 17th of September 2024. Please note this is different to the questionnaire issued in March 2024. This August 2024 questionnaire survey is specifically targeted towards construction suppliers. While it is still our assumption that CDF2 will include consultancy services, consultancy suppliers are not required to complete this survey. Ahead of commencing with the formal tender process, we will conduct further market engagement with all interested parties. <br/><br/>For access to the new questionnaire please contact:  cdfreplacement@defra.gov.uk

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. <br/><br/> <br/>Interested suppliers are invited to complete the short Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire, with submissions no later than 10am on the 17th of September 2024.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Construction consultancy services (71530000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7110,1165 median · 30 average (4,041 of 10,116 with a bid count)4.1 average (4,444 of 10,116 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
