The Great Stour's source is 75m above sea level near the village of Lenham, north-west of Ashford. The Great Stour then flows through Wye and the chalk North Downs to the cathedral city of Canterbury and then flows East and out to sea at Pegwell Bay. The works are in the River Great Stour from Wye to the A2, GB107040019742 (Water body id). On leaving Wye the Stour flows in a north easterly direction, breaching the North Downs through the 'Wye Gap', and for most of this distance there are few tributaries, although the river interacts significantly with the groundwater and takes on many of the characteristics of a chalk stream. The river is primarily rural in character for this section, passing through the grounds of some grand country houses. At Olantigh the river bifurcates and passes through 107 hectares of park and pleasure grounds of a mid-19th century private residence. At Olantigh there are three structures which impact on fish passage, on these two channels. The Waterbody Improvement Plan, 2017, undertaken by the Environment Agency states this section of the Stour as moderate and the reason for not achieving good ecological status as being due to water quality (particularly phosphates), low flow and fish passage. Fish were in poor status as recently as 2010 but have recovered; further improvements are required if we are to achieve an improvement in overall status. Fish passage has been improved downstream through Canterbury. The works are everything necessary for the construction and installation of a new Lariner Fish Pass and Eel Pass on the River Great Stour at Olantigh Estate. This includes the provision of temporary works to allow its construction in the river, reinforced and mass concrete, aluminium baffles, safety railings, top soiling and seeding and scour protection. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/969f97c8-55e1-489e-b483-18d31bd513c5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 17 Apr 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2020 - 31 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45247220 - Weir construction work ## Release History - 20 Mar 2020 at 12:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/969f97c8-55e1-489e-b483-18d31bd513c5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/969f97c8-55e1-489e-b483-18d31bd513c5 20th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=cb4bd6b3-906a-ea11-80ff-005056b64545&p=8691483f-2f3d-e711-80e1-005056b64545 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
