     Can we meet on Monday to discuss this and hear from Phil what was decided
     at the London meeting? I'll be in late Monday (waiting for someone to look
     at my leaking roof) - so maybe early afternoon. I'm going down to London
     early evening and will be at Chelsea on tuesday. Good to see Saffron is
     getting some publicity!

     Dear all,
     Please find attached the final tender pack for the Environment Agency
     bid.  The tasks have been re-jigged, with the main change being a
     broadening of flood risk management to flood and coastal erosion risk
     management (FCERM).  This means a wider audience to include all
     operating authorities, and the best practice guidance required (new Task
     11) is now substantial element, to include evaluation of FCERM climate
     change adaptation, case studies and provision of evidence to help
     upgrade the FCDPAG3 Supplementary Note.
     We have just one week to finish this tender, as it must be posted on
     Friday 23rd.  We are putting together the bid document, which we'll
     circulate on Monday 19th, but in the meantime, and by the end of Tuesday
     20th, I need everyone to send information (as indicated in brackets) to
     support the following structure:
     + Understanding of the tender
     + Methodology and programme (methodology for tasks / sub-tasks - see
     below - and timing)
     + Project team, including individual and corporate experience (who you
     are putting forward, pen portraits, corporate case studies)
     + Financial and commercial (day rates and number of days; please also
     highlight potential issues with the T&Cs e.g. IPR)
     + Health & Safety, Quality and Environmental Management
     + Appendices (full CVs, limited to 6 pages)
     Please send to me and Rob McSweeney.  The information I have already
     e.g. on day rates, core pen portraits etc will go straight into the
     version we're working on, so no need to re-send.
     In terms of tasks (new nos.), the following organisation is suggested
     based on what has been noted to date:
     Task 1 (Inception meeting and reporting) Atkins, supported by lead
     representatives of partners
     Task 2 (Project board meetings) Atkins, supported by lead
     representatives of partners
     Task 3 (Analysis of user needs) Atkins with Tyn@UEA and OUCE, plus
     Futerra depending on style
     Task 4 (Phase 2 programme) Atkins, supported by all
     Task 5 (Interpret messages from UKCIP08 projections) CRU, OUCE and
     Newcastle, with Atkins advice on sectors
     Task 6 (Development of business specific projections) Newcastle and CRU,
     with Atkins advice on policy and ops
     Task 7 (Putting UKCIP08 in context) CRU, Newcastle and OUCE
     Task 8 (User guidance) Atkins, Tyn@UEA, Futerra
     Task 9 (Pilot studies) Atkins, Newcastle, OUCE, Tyn@UEA
     Task 10 (Phase 3 programme) Atkins, supported by all
     Task 11 (Best Practice Guidance for FCERM) Newcastle and Atkins, with
     CRU
     Task 12 (Awareness raising events) Atkins, key experts, Futerra (perhaps
     as an option as EA are quite specific here)
     Task 13 (Training events) Atkins and Futerra
     Note that Futerra is a communications consultancy, specialising in
     sustainability, who will input on workshops and on the guidance
     documents.
     I'll be in touch again early next week.
     Best wishes,
     Geoff
