Firms on Standby for £5bn Flood Defence Shake-up

The Environment Agency (EA) is seeking feedback on a draft tender for the Collaborative Delivery Framework 2 (CDF2), a £5bn flood defence project.

The new framework, which replaces the existing £3bn framework, will run for eight years from 2027 to 2035 and cover a range of flood and coastal management works.

The EA is looking for bidders that can combine environmental innovation with civil engineering delivery, incorporating nature-based schemes with traditional flood defences.

Formal tenders are expected to be issued in March 2026, with draft documents available for review via the Quatrix portal.

The Agency wants bidders capable of blending environmental innovation with civil engineering delivery.
