## Summary

The public procurement process titled "Ouseburn habitat improvements" was facilitated by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. This procurement falls under the industry category of Environmental services (CPV: 90700000) and focuses on river restoration proposals to improve habitats along the Ouse Burn in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is now complete, with the award date recorded as 3rd November 2025. The procurement process was carried out as a selective tender through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 12th November 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities for firms specialising in environmental services, particularly those engaged in river restoration and habitat enhancement. However, the selection process was not specifically oriented towards small and medium enterprises, suggesting that larger, possibly more experienced firms, like the awarded supplier AECOM Ltd, might be better suited to undertake such projects. Engaging in this contract allows businesses to contribute to ecological improvement efforts while potentially securing further partnerships and projects within the environmental sector.

## Notice

The Ouse Burn is a tributary of the River Tyne, water body (GB103023075780). It is defined as a heavily modified water body, mainly due to its previous flood protection. The river is failing to meet Water Framework Directive (WFD) standards for fish, invertebrates and phosphate. The Ouseburn Habitat Improvements Project objective is to develop river restoration proposals for five priority sites on the Ouse Burn to enhance their habitat and mitigate the impacts associated with the waterbody's designation as heavily modified.
