Asset Operation, Maintenance, Response and Landscape Framework

The Environment Agency (EA) is seeking expressions of interest from organisations to participate in pre-market engagement activity in relation to the forthcoming procurement of a National Framework Agreement for Asset Operation, Maintenance, Response and Landscape requirements.

The current proposal is that the Framework will be broken down into the following Lots: - - Lot 1a - Civils (maintain and construct) <£1m - Lot 1b - Mechanical electrical instrumentation control and automation - Lot 1c - Arboricultural / agricultural management - Lot 1d - Culvert and confined spaces services - Lot 2 - Asset operation and response - Lot 3a - Landscape and habitat implementation & establishment aftercare - Lot 3b - Landscape monitoring services

Organisations are invited to provide comments and feedback on the EA's proposed approach via a Pre-Market Questionnaire (further information below).

Please note: This is NOT a call for competition.

The procurement remains subject to approval. The EA does not intend to be bound by any information at this stage and makes no commitment to incorporate any recommendations or suggestions within the final procurement documents.

All information provided is subject to change including the contract value and is not a guarantee of the level of work that will be generated through any future Framework.

Further information regarding the EA's proposals and the Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire are available upon request.

If interested please email: ross.beavis@environment-agency.gov.uk.

The deadline for return of the Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire is Monday 6th March 2023 at 10:00hrs.
