Description

The Environment Agency are submitting this Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice with a view to completing a Single Tender Award. Please note that this is not a tender opportunity, and that the contracting authority intends to award a Single Tender Action to HR Wallingford Limited.

Total Quantity or Scope

Single Tender Action with HR Wallingford due to the justification under the Public Contracting Regulations 2015 for this Single Tender Action is against regulation 32 (2) (b) of the PCR 2015 for use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication where (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons, and also (iii) where exclusive rights, including IP rights, meaning that services can only be supplied by one economic operator. Additional information: The Risk Attribution and Field Based Tool + (RAFT+) is a bespoke web application tool which allows the Environment Agency (EA) to assess the risk of failure associated with vital EA flood risk assets. It has been built and developed in a partnership with HR Wallingford who own crucial elements of the intellectual property within and underpinning the tool. With their bespoke tool and the ownership of the associated IP, the Environment Agency has concluded that HR Wallingford is the only supplier who can deliver the required technical solution for the moment.
