Background

Property Flood Resilience (PFR) is currently delivered through:

  • Grant in Aid (GiA) funding
  • The PFR repair scheme

PFR elements of the GiA were informally evaluated at the end of 2013/14 and 2015/16, but the PRF repair scheme hasn’t been evaluated since its inception in 2013. This has led to a gap in knowledge about whether the scheme is effective.

About the opportunity

This project will evaluate how the PFR repair scheme’s delivery process has worked and the impact this has had in areas affected by flooding. This evaluation will generate evidence to inform the delivery and targeting of the scheme.

Tender information

The tender documents are available for review on the Bravo e-tendering portal.

The deadline for bids is Friday 4 June 2021.
