The project is set in the United Kingdom, with a planned contract period commencing on 6th September 2021 and concluding by 28th March 2022. This notice serves as a preliminary opportunity for potential bidders to prepare before the full Invitation to Tender (ITT) is released in July 2021. Key deadlines include the future notice date published on 6th July 2021 which serves to alert the market about this upcoming opportunity. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, modelling, and engineering services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given their suitability for the project. Firms that can offer innovative solutions for groundwater modelling, as well as a strong understanding of environmental licensing and water resource management, will be well-positioned to compete in this contract. The project not only aims to enhance the Environment Agency's operational effectiveness but also provides a platform for growth within these sectors. ## Notice 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. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffee642a-373b-4b70-84b2-80414b2247e7 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Jul 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Sep 2021 - 28 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72242000 - Design-modelling services ## Release History - 6 Jul 2021 at 09:58 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffee642a-373b-4b70-84b2-80414b2247e7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffee642a-373b-4b70-84b2-80414b2247e7 6th July 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7aa4c44a-da13-494e-99a9-febbc067825a n/a ## Notice URLs - http://www.defra.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
