Jacobs has been appointed to provide professional services on the Environment Agency<\/a>\u2019s new Collaborative Delivery Framework (CDF)\u00a0to help protect communities and businesses from flood and coastal erosion<\/h2>\n

The CDF will take place in two of the six regional delivery hubs across England, both the North West and the Thames & Anglian regions of England, which will drive a programme of capital investment and improvement work for flood defence<\/a> assets.<\/p>\n

The Environment Agency is investing \u00a32.6bn in flood and coastal erosion risk management projects<\/a>, beginning in 2015 through 2021, helping to protect 300,000 homes. The new CDF is part of the Agency\u2019s Next Generation Supplier Arrangements<\/a> (NGSA) to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of capital projects through greater collaboration with delivery partners.<\/p>\n

Jacobs\u2019 senior vice president and general manager, Donald Morrison, said: \u201cAs the environment faces some of the toughest challenges of our time, we have an opportunity to build on our 25-year partnership with the Environment Agency and play a role in helping to protect communities for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new integrated delivery teams provide the opportunity for even greater collaboration with the Agency and other suppliers, enabling better ways to support the Agency\u2019s objectives to improve efficiency across a wide range of resiliency and environmental outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby Willison, executive director of operations at the Environment Agency, added: \u201cThis ambitious new framework will help us to continue to deliver our \u00a32.6bn flood and coastal defence programme in a way which ensures that sustainability, efficiency and value for money remain at the very heart of the work we do to protect people, homes and the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Environment Agency continues to work closely with partners and communities from across the country to deliver our commitment of investing \u00a32.6bn to better protect 300,000 homes from flooding and coastal erosion over six years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacobs is working alongside the Environment Agency, Lot 2 delivery partners and wider community stakeholders as part of an integrated, collaborative team to deliver a programme of projects to create better places for people and wildlife and support sustainable development<\/a>.<\/p>\n
