Notice Information

Notice Title

Great Ouse Collective Action Project Scoping

Notice Description

WRAP's Water Roadmap is the delivery mechanism for the UK Food & Drink Pact target that 50% of the UK's fresh food is sourced from areas with sustainable water management. It also contributes to wider goals including UN Sustainable Development Goal 6, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience through nature-based solutions. As part of this, WRAP is supporting the development of Collective Action Projects in priority sourcing regions across the UK. These projects aim to identify shared water risks and coordinate cross-sector solutions with other NGOs, businesses, land managers, and local partners. Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire have been identified as key focus areas due to their importance in UK fresh produce supply and growing water-related pressures, coupled with being home to some of the most unique landscapes in the UK, ranging from lowland peat to chalk streams. This procurement covers the delivery of a scoping phase that will form the foundation for a future Collective Action Project that will tie into existing work in Norfolk and cover Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
