Tenders for Collaborative Delivery Framework 2 are planned to be invited in March 2025.
The framework will provide both technical consultancy services and construction works that support the EA’s asset management, maintenance, refurbishment and construction programmes of work.
Existing framework contractor partners include BAM Nuttall, Kier, Jackson Civil Engineering and VolkerStevin with consultants Arup, Atkins, Jacobs and Jeremy Benn Associates providing design services.
Selected firms will be required to develop, design and deliver nature-based solutions as well as more traditional hard engineering solutions.
Projects will range of £1m to £75m with the framework divided into three value lots, each split up geographically to serve the agency’s regional hub structure.
