Lot details

An Arc GIS Scottish Flood Asset Register Database

Develop an Arc GIS database that will form the Scottish Flood Asset Register database. This dataset will include a desk-based assessment of over 200 assets to identify the location of the assets, description of the assets, ownership (as far practical), asset discretisation, asset ID and identifying access constraints and any health and safety concerns. Subject Matter Expert (SME) interviews should also be conducted with the 32 Local Authorities to collect critical local knowledge from the local authorities. It is anticipated that the Environment Agency’s Data Requirements Library (DRL) will be used and the Condition Assessment Manual (CAM) (latest guidance) and any other relevant national standards.

Statusplanned

Field Collector/Survey 123 App, Topographical survey and condition assessment for prioritised schemes

Develop a data collection app using the Field Collector Tool or Survey 123 (Arc GIS) to facilitate efficient data collection for condition assessments. This will need to have links with the Flood Asset Register and require the relevant fields and schemas to support the condition assessment using the Environment Agency’s CAM manual. Undertake Topographical survey on the 6 priority flood defence schemes including top of bank, in channel survey, in channel structures and floodplain survey. This can include different survey methods and techniques such as on the ground surveys, boat surveys and drone surveys. The Environment Agency’s National Standard Technical Specification for surveying Services will be used. Condition assessment – undertake condition inspections of the 6 priority areas using the Environment Agency’s T98 method in the CAM manual. This could be in the field visual inspections or via desk-based asset inspection using high resolution photogrammetry and videos taken during the topographical surveys.

Statusplanned

Hydrological and Hydrodynamic model for one priority area for flood warning

Build upon an existing model for one priority area to establish exceedance thresholds to inform key questions about when the scheme may over top and the areas that may be at risk from an exceedance event.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Environmental engineering consultancy services (71313000); 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 7110,1205 median · 30 average (4,041 of 10,120 with a bid count)4.2 average (4,446 of 10,120 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer22 median · 2 average (2 of 2 with a bid count)1 average (2 of 2 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UKM4535 median · 27.4 average (207 of 453 with a bid count)5.8 average (241 of 453 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.
