Epping Forest District Council has a responsibility to maintain watercourses and related assets including four flood storage areas. The Council also provides an out-of-hours flooding emergency response service. The successful Contractor will be required to hold a stack of 1000 pre-filled sandbags and to provide a 24-hour emergency attendance service, 365 days a year.

The contract contains both routine and non-routine works. Routine works comprises of, but not limited to, general clearance of debris and silt; removal of vegetation; watercourse re-grading; jetting/rodding of piped watercourses; and annual maintenance of mechanical components. Non-routine works comprises of, but not limited to, headwall construction and other small retaining wall and embankment strengthening works; supply and installation of precast concrete culverts, manholes, silt traps, inlets and grilles; general lopping or removal of trees; repair of wooden and metal railings; grass cutting and surveying.

Routine works on average make up 65% annually, whilst non-routine works on average make up 35% annually. These percentages may fluctuate given the number and magnitude of any flooding events throughout the life of the contract. No level of expenditure is guaranteed by the Council. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
