0949 Property Flood Resilience

Essex County Council (ECC) announced an ambitious 5-year capital programme in 2015 to manage the flooding problems across the county. There are a number of initiatives in this programme, and these include:

• the provision of option feasibility studies and flood risk management schemes by Essex County Council • the allocation for partnership programme grants for contributions to flood alleviation works undertaken by other partners in Essex, and • the Property Level Protection grant scheme initiative, now (in 2021) known as Property Flood Resilience (PFR).

This PFR scheme is a grant for eligible Essex residents aimed at improving individual property resistance and resilience to future flooding events.

The Authority is seeking a provider who can manage and deliver the PFR grant scheme to the residents of Essex for the contract period.
