Defra Noise Modelling Design and Build (call-off 5)

The Defra Noise Team lead on the implementation of the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 these Regulations apply to environmental noise, mainly from transport, but also from industry. These regulations require noise mapping and action planning for major sources of road, rail and aviation noise and noise in large urban areas on a five-yearly cycle. The Environmental Noise Directive has separately been transposed into Law in the Devolved Governments. In order to comply with these Regulations Defra must design and implement a new modelling methodology. The framework and contract award facilitates both the design and build to deliver this regulatory compliance. The procurement strategy to deliver this work is via a Defra framework that was developed for the specific purpose of delivering this requirement. The Defra single supplier framework for Noise Modelling Design and Build was awarded on 1st February 2021.
