Notice Title

Yazor Groundwater Model Update 2021

Notice Description

This future opportunity notice is published in order to highlight the project to the market and allow potential bidders time to allocate resources for tendering purposes. This notice does not commit the Agency to proceeding beyond this point and the Agency reserves the right to amend and adapt the requirements outlined in this notice. The general objective of this project is to update the existing groundwater model that will significantly improve the Environment Agency's ability to make abstraction licensing decisions on a sound scientific basis and, in doing so, protect and/or enhance sensitive surface water features on the outcrop of the Yazor Gravel aquifer. It is anticipated that the groundwater model will inform the groundwater resources assessment for the Yazor Gravel Aquifer and support the catchment abstraction management strategy (CAMS) process, in the Upper Wye catchment. It is also expected that the groundwater model will be integral to the investigations and assessments undertaken for the Water Framework Directive. In addition, it is expected that the groundwater model will provide a tool to aid decision making concerning location-specific water resources issues of the Yazor Brook Catchment Area. Additional information: It is anticipated that this project will begin at the start of September 2021 and must be completed by March 2022. The Agency intends to publish the full ITT in July 2021.
