Binnies, working in partnership with WSP, is pleased to announce its successful appointment to all three Flood Risk Asset Management (FRAM) Lots under the Environment Agency’s Client Support Framework 2 (CPS2).
This appointment covers the Technical, Environmental and Commercial Assurance Lots, reinforcing the WSP/Binnies partnership’s position as a trusted delivery partner to the Environment Agency and reflecting the breadth of services previously delivered under the Client Support Framework (CSF).
CPS2 is a key national framework supporting the management, maintenance and improvement of flood and coastal risk management assets across England. Through the FRAM lots, the partnership will provide assurance and specialist support across a wide range of activities, including asset inspection and performance assessment, engineering and environmental appraisal, business case and investment support, and commercial and programme assurance. The framework plays a critical role in ensuring that flood defence infrastructure is resilient, sustainable and able to protect communities from increasing climate risks.
The award builds on the strength of the WSP/Binnies IS44001 accredited partnership, which has been successfully delivering for the Environment Agency almost a decade. The partnership combines deep technical expertise with strong collaborative delivery, supporting national and regional teams across flood and coastal programmes.
This appointment positions the WSP/Binnies partnership to continue supporting the Environment Agency’s long-term ambitions for climate resilience, nature-based solutions, and sustainable flood risk management, while delivering benefits for communities, the environment and the economy.
