Summary of the contracting process

The Westcountry Rivers Trust is seeking procurement bids for the "Bridgetown Weir: Fish Passage Improvements (Construction)" project, located in central Exmoor National Park. This open tender, initiated on 28th January 2022, is currently in the planning stage with a deadline for submissions set for 25th March 2022. The total contract value is estimated at £100,000, with a minimum threshold of £75,000. The project aims to enhance fish migration and restore natural movements for species such as Atlantic salmon and sea/brown trout, thus contributing to sustainable fish populations in the region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction companies, particularly those specialising in environmental works or civil engineering projects. Businesses with experience in aquatic habitat restoration and fish passage designs, including installation of fishways and other structures, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, SMEs are encouraged to apply, as the procurement process guarantees equal treatment for all bidders. Understanding the local ecological impact and demonstrating adherence to environmental standards will be vital for success in this tender.

Additional documents added. Please read these documents carefully when preparing your response: - Planning Permission & referred to documents - Environmental Permit (See UPDATE 04.03.2022 above). - Tender Clarifications 14.02.2022. (intro removed to save text character allowance for above updates) Bridgetown Weir acts as a gateway to highly important recruitment habitat in central Exmoor National Park, particularly for Atlantic salmon and sea/brown trout. It is the aim of this current project to ensure every migratory salmonid that reaches Bridgetown Weir has the opportunity to continue upstream migration and maximise utility of the pristine recruitment habitat in the upper River Exe. The current project also aims to ensure downstream migrating fish have maximum opportunity to continue down the main river, while considering local constraints. We are seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the following elements: 1. Installation of a Larinier Fishway within an existing pool-traverse fish pass channel. 2. Excavation and reinforcement with stone of the downstream pool and adjacent river bank to accommodate the Larinier Fishway. 3. Install stone to effectively extend the weir toe inline with the Larinier Fishway to maximise attraction efficiency. 4. Level the weir crest to reduce competing attraction flows. 5. Installation of seasonal fish screen infrastructure across the leat entrance. 6. Installation of a maintenance walkway for the fish screen. 7. Installation of a fish chute adjacent to the fish screen, underfilled with stone. 8. Excavation and reinforcement with stone of a small pool to accommodate the fish chute outlet. WRT are under obligation to ensure compliance with principles of transparency, equality and non-discrimination. As such WRT is conducting a formal open tender process in which all bidders will be treated equally, with no discrimination and through a transparent process. We look forward to receiving your tender bid. Additional information: Please read the attached tender documents in full before requesting further information or documents. The WRT procurement policy adheres to National Rules. It also incorporates a number of principles that we believe demonstrate our commitment to fulfilling our charitable objectives and ensuring the fairness and integrity of our procurement practices that demonstrate the 'most economically advantageous tender' will be selected while recognising environmental considerations and minimising the risk to WRT in terms of liability. WRT will make use of an NEC3 Engineering and Construction Short Contract to facilitate the work.
