This contract pertains to services related to inspections and servicing of hydrometric cableway systems across England. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submission set for 10 January 2020. The overall contract period will commence on 1 April 2020 and conclude on 31 March 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure, applicable due to its threshold status, and it falls under the services category related to flywheels and pulleys. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in technical inspections, servicing, and engineering related to aerial conveying systems over waterways. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have experience with cableway installations or similar infrastructure would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the ongoing nature of inspections required annually under regulatory requirements, successful bidders can benefit from a consistent stream of work throughout the duration of the contract. ## Notice A hydrometric cableway is any bank supported aerial conveying system suspended above a waterway. Such systems consist of a winch, pulley and cable system that is supported across a river by two metal towers or stanchions; they allow flow and gauging equipment to be traversed across a river so that the Environment Agency can take measurements or water depth and velocity; such measurements are then used to calculate the flow or discharge of the river. The Environment Agency is intending to produce a contract for inspections and servicing of all its cableways installations. All cableways are to be inspected, serviced and load tested annually in accordance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and BS EN ISO 4375:2014 This contract will cover the whole of the Environment Agency's cableways asset base, spread across England.
