I-3792 Flood Risk Management

The Council expects to tender for a new OCC LLFA Drainage and minor ground works framework. It will enable OCC to directly award work relating to drainage and minor ground works to reduce flood risk for communities and residents. The framework will run for an initial period of 2 years, with an option for the Client (OCC) to extend for a further 2 years. The framework is for the provision of the following works across the whole of Oxfordshire on a “call-off” basis. Works will be on OCC own land and assets and (by agreement) third party land.

Types of work:

• Minor ground works, such as: ditch creation, reinstatement and maintenance; small flood embankment construction; swale construction; and vegetation management.
• Culvert and small bridge works, such as: removal, replacement, alteration and repair.
• Culvert and drainage pipe maintenance, surveying, jetting/clearance.
