HCC May 2024 – PPME for ResilienTogether design and build SuDS/NFM

Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the ‘Council’) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (‘PPME’) in relation to ResilienTogether design and build SuDS/NFM.<br /><br />ResilienTogether is a DEFRA-funded innovation initiative in the Pix Brook Catchment. The Pix Brook begins within Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire and travels northward toward Stotfold and Arlesey (Central Bedfordshire). The project is run in partnership between Hertfordshire County Council and Central Bedfordshire Council. <br /><br />The aim of the project is to better monitor, respond and adapt to changing flood risks. The project is doing this by collecting information from multiple telemetry flow monitoring stations installed in the catchment, as well as water quality monitoring stations. Both are being used to improve the Councils understanding about how and when flooding is likely to occur, and the best way to address water quality issues, and supporting habitats while mitigating flood risk.<br /><br />The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. <br />
