## Summary

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Water temperature projections in Chalk streams." This project falls under the research services category and is primarily located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method applied was an open procedure below the threshold, and the tender period ended on 22nd October 2021. The total contract value was £49,623, with a minimum value set at £25,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 1st November 2021 to 31st March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental research and modelling services, particularly those with expertise in climate change impacts on aquatic ecosystems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will be particularly well-suited to compete, as the suitability criteria indicate a preference for such businesses. Companies are encouraged to leverage their capabilities in data analysis, environmental modelling, and project management to engage in similar public procurement contracts, thereby fostering growth and expanding their portfolios.

## Notice

This project will develop water temperature projections for chalk streams (and a non-chalk stream example) under climate change. We have scoped how best to model water temperature projections in an earlier project so are ready to apply this approach. The project will involve compiling and quality controlling temperature and associated datasets, appraisal of the recommended modelling approach, modelling water temperature projections, and presentation and interpretation of the findings. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Invitation to Quote. Email your response to judy.england@environment-agency.gov.uk. Tenders to be received no later than 1200h on Thursday 22st October 2021.
