The Schools Water Strategy is an “invest to save” strategy aimed at reducing the risk of flooding in schools. This planned procurement is to enable the expansion of the current Property Flood Resilience (PFR) installations across the school estate, specifically targeting members of the Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA) for schools in high-risk flood areas and schools that have suffered repeated flooding disruption. These works are anticipated to include design and build of grey, green (nature- based) and blue property flood resilience solutions. The DfE is looking to award 5 regional contracts that will deliver PFR measures in specific schools (selected by the DfE based upon flood risk) in each region. The procurement will be structured into five regional Lots to ensure equal coverage across England. Each Lot will be split into regions as follow: • Lot 1: North West • Lot 2: North East • Lot 3: West Midlands and South (excluding London) • Lot 4: London • Lot 5: East Midlands and East of England Each Lot will have a target to complete a minimum of 10 schools per year over the contract period; however, suppliers would be expected to work on more than 10 projects a year to achieve the targets, accounting for potential slippage. Bidders will be able to apply for all five Lots but will only be awarded a maximum of three Lots. The planned procurement will follow an Open Competitive Procedure, and the evaluation will use a price-per-quality-point methodology. The planned procurement will include social value as part of the evaluation criteria weighted at 10% and may cover MAC2a: Skills for Growth, focusing on skills development in property flood resilience, and MAC4b: Influence staff, suppliers, customers and communities through the delivery of the contract to support climate and nature protection and improvement.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 44. The category anchor is Miscellaneous building structures (44112000); 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.

| Market: CPV division 44 | 1,769 | 5 median · 43.1 average (442 of 1,769 with a bid count) | 6 average (492 of 1,769 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.
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.

"description": "The Schools Water Strategy is an “invest to save” strategy aimed at reducing the risk of flooding in schools. This planned procurement is to enable the expansion of the current Property Flood Resilience (PFR) installations across the school estate, specifically targeting members of the Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA) for schools in high-risk flood areas and schools that have suffered repeated flooding disruption. \nThese works are anticipated to include design and build of grey, green (nature- based) and blue property flood resilience solutions.\nThe DfE is looking to award 5 regional contracts that will deliver PFR measures in specific schools (selected by the DfE based upon flood risk) in each region. \nThe procurement will be structured into five regional Lots to ensure equal coverage across England. Each Lot will be split into regions as follow:\n•\tLot 1: North West\n•\tLot 2: North East\n•\tLot 3: West Midlands and South (excluding London)\n•\tLot 4: London \n•\tLot 5: East Midlands and East of England\nEach Lot will have a target to complete a minimum of 10 schools per year over the contract period; however, suppliers would be expected to work on more than 10 projects a year to achieve the targets, accounting for potential slippage. \nBidders will be able to apply for all five Lots but will only be awarded a maximum of three Lots. The planned procurement will follow an Open Competitive Procedure, and the evaluation will use a price-per-quality-point methodology. \nThe planned procurement will include social value as part of the evaluation criteria weighted at 10% and may cover MAC2a: Skills for Growth, focusing on skills development in property flood resilience, and MAC4b: Influence staff, suppliers, customers and communities through the delivery of the contract to support climate and nature protection and improvement.",
