Property Flood Resilience Framework (PFR2)

The Environment Agency (EA) has successfully awarded a framework to enable PFR schemes to be delivered successfully. It will help ensure that residential and commercial properties are better protected from the threat of flooding.<br/> <br/>The Framework includes two Lots:<br/> <br/>- Lot 1: Survey, Options & Quality Assurance.<br/>- Lot 2: Detailed Design & Construction.<br/> <br/>The Framework will be delivered through a Regional single organisation model, aligned to the EA's Integrated Delivery Teams (IDTs). Each of the six EA hub-based IDTs has its own Lot 1 and Lot 2 organisation (for clarity, a single Lot 1 provider AND a single Lot 2 provider in each hub). Regional Lot references are shown below:<br/>Lot 1:<br/>1a. North-East (NE)<br/>1b. North-West (NW)<br/>1c. Midlands<br/>1d. South-West (SW)<br/>1e. South-East (SE)<br/>1f. Eastern<br/> <br/>Lot 2:<br/>2a. North-East (NE)<br/>2b. North-West (NW)<br/>2c. Midlands<br/>2d. South-West (SW)<br/>2e. South-East (SE)<br/>2f. Eastern<br/> <br/>The Framework will run for a maximum of four years (initial two year period plus one optional two year extension).<br/> <br/>This framework is primarily intended to meet the needs of the Agency. However, services/works may be provided on the same terms to the Department for <br/>Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and to its associated bodies including any Agencies and non-departmental public bodies, others (the Defra Group) and any other Flood Risk Management Authorities designated under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010. <br/>The Agency may also require the provision of the services/works to members of the aforementioned Defra Group via the Agency, rather than directly.
