This project falls within the research and environmental services industries and is located in London, England. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 4th February 2020. The contract was awarded on 1st August 2020, with a total contract value of £100,000, spanning from 1st August 2020 to 31st August 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the environmental and research sectors. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this particularly relevant, as their involvement can add unique insights into the project's goals to assess water needs and explore climate change impacts. Companies with expertise in ecological studies, environmental policy recommendations, and stakeholder engagement would be well-suited to compete for such contracts within this framework. ## Notice The aim of the project is to provide evidence that informs policy development required to meet Defra's stated objective in the 25 Year Environment Plan of providing "clean and plentiful water". The overarching research question is: how can we calculate how much water and what quality water the environment needs (both surface and groundwater)? The objectives of the project are to: - Undertake a review of what is known about the correlation between water resources and the state of the environment - Identify the risks to/impact on the environment of insufficient water - Identify the different potential approaches and explore their effectiveness, including the Ecological Flow Indicator (EFI) - Review the potential impact of climate change scenarios - Provide recommendations on new approaches that could be used to balance societal and environmental demand - Engage with stakeholders to test the acceptability of these above new approaches Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions.
