## Description
Buckinghamshire Council sought to appoint a provider, or providers, experienced in
engaging with the community to deliver community engagement over 4.5 years for the
Groundwater Resilience and Community Engagement Programme (GRACE).
Interested organisations should be experienced in engagement with local communities. This
can be unrelated to flooding.
This project is funded by Defra as part of the £150 million Flood and Coastal Resilience
Innovation Programme which is managed by the Environment Agency to develop and test
new approaches to help communities become more resilient to the effects of flooding and
climate change.
The aim of the GRACE Programme is, through innovative solutions and stakeholder
engagement, to build resilience to groundwater flooding for communities, focusing
particularly on 10 at risk geographical areas.
The provider(s) shall devise and carry out effective and true engagement with stakeholders
and local communities to help collaborate on, and co-produce, innovative solutions to
groundwater flood risk. They will work closely with the Engagement and communications
workstream.
The contract term is 4.5 years (4 years and 6 months) with the option to extend for 1 year.
The work shall be undertaken in 4 phases, with each phase dependent on the council first
issuing formal written instructions at its discretion for the relevant work to be undertaken.
The service is divided into 10 geographical areas referred to as Lots.  The 10th area has not yet been agreed and therefore only 9 Lots were covered by this tender process.
