Tender description

The National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Strategy for England (2011) states that the Environment Agency will develop and maintain national information on current and future risks arising from all sources of flooding and coastal erosion. The Environment Agency’s flood risk information underpins decision making in all parts of the business. We presently have a National Flood Risk Assessment (NaFRA) tool that was created in 2002. After a review of requirements and aspirations for our approach to flood risk assessment, we have a strategic vision for a National Flood Risk Assessment 2 (NaFRA2) system to deliver a single, scalable assessment of flood risk that is available, trusted and used. Design and build of a National Flood Risk Assessment tool, incorporating a New National Model. Split over a number of delivery phases from proof of concept, prototype through to final delivery. The contract includes provision for a year's support and maintenance.
