  9. Environment Agency frameworks The Environment Agency have several frameworks (groups of suppliers) • consultants (including us!) – NEECA2 (2005 →) NEECA – National Framework Agreement for Engineering and Environmental Consultancy Services • contractors – NCF2 (2007 →) • cost consultants – NCCF • environmental services – ESF • site investigation – NSIF2 • there are others, but lower profile Under NEECA we work for two parts of the Environment Agency: • ncpms (National Capital Programme Management Service), who ‘own’ the frameworks and are responsible for large capital works contracts and studies • “Area” or “non-NCPMS”, who handle all other tasks, and sometimes use the frameworks for relatively small capital works and studies B&V - 9

  10. Environment Agency NEECA2 framework Overview • 4-year framework across England and Wales • B&V roles – consultant for upfront studies, design, EIA, H&S advisor, construction supervision • Scope – Flood defence (river/coastal), water resources, navigation, environmental protection • Five other suppliers – Halcrow, Atkins, Jacobs, Arup, Royal Haskoning • Revenue £8m in 2005, £7.5M in 2006 and forecast £6.6m in 2007 B&V - 10

  11. The framework in 1 slide!!! What does the framework mean for us? • Framework put in place to : build relationships, build integrated teams, promote partnering, drive continuous improvement, improve cost and time certainty • All projects with EA run under NEC Professional Services Contract • Standard rates for all B&V staff agreed with EA • B&V PMs issue monthly progress report to EA • We agree Supplier Performance Measures or SPMs (previously known as KPIs) quarterly with the EA, these are used to drive continuous improvement and benchmark consultants • Quarterly cascades through B&V offices to keep all staff up to date • Monthly joint office Toolbox Talks to share knowledge and best practice, speakers can be internal or external • Standard templates for progress reports, SPMs, reports etc available through EA Extranet site B&V - 11
