Published requirement description

Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) is designated a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA) under the Flood and Water Management Act, 2010. As such it has powers and duties relating to “local” sources of flooding, these are flooding from surface water, ordinary watercourses and groundwater. The Flood Risk Management (FRM) Team (with the Planning, Environment and Circular Economy Directorate) carries out these functions within OCC, working in partnership with the district and city councils alongside others.

This Framework will be utilised by OCC as the contracting authority, but Parish, Town, City and District Council’s within Oxfordshire will also be able to call off from the Framework with prior agreement and arrangement from OCC.

This Tender is divided into Lots:

  • Lot 1: Minor Ground Works
  • Lot 2: Culvert and Small Bridge Works
  • Lot 3: Culvert and Drainage

CPV: River regulation and flood control works

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “Lead Local Flood Authority Drainage and Minor Ground Works Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
