Greater Manchester, Merseyside & Cheshire (GMMC) Natural Flood Management (NFM)

Tender description

The Environment Agency is seeking offers from suitable organisations for the delivery of on-the-ground NFM projects in the Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire area. This funding offer arose from a National Defra Opportunity Fund to deliver Natural Flood Management catchment scale projects. The aim of the project is to deliver numerous, catchment-wide, small-scale ‘slow-the flow’ interventions in catchments upstream of communities at flood risk. These communities are widespread across the area but a priority is those communities at the foot of rapidly responding catchments in the Pennine upland areas that experienced flooding last year, such as Delph, Uppermill, Stalybridge, Mossley and for others at high risk such as Hayfield, Glossop and Whalley Bridge. It is expected that a number of suitable projects will be selected within the available budget based on the criteria set out in the Invitation to Submit Proposal Document available to download from the ITT section of Bravo. If you wish to submit a project for consideration, please download the Project Proposal Form for completion and return your submission via Bravo by 16:30 Thursday 24 May 2018.
