Description

The EA has used a flood warning system (FWS) to deliver a flood warning service to the public, partners and the media for over twenty years. The current system has remained largely unchanged for many years. FWS is supported by satellite systems maintained by the EA and third-party suppliers in order to provide accurate and up-to-date information to users. This is a complex technology estate, and includes telemetry systems, forecasting systems and services all feeding into messages being issued from the FWS. The capabilities required for the next flood warning system (NFWS) are summarised on the previously published Opportunity notice (https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b148b93-eec3-46a5-a07b-26ae51056526).
