It comprises two lakes, Bury Lake to the west and Batchworth Lake to the east, along with surrounding areas of open grassland and wet woodland. It is bounded to the north and east by the river Colne, to the south by the Grand Union Canal and to the west by Stockers Lake Local Nature Reserve. The large majority of the Aquadrome, with the exception of an area around the cafe and car park, is in Flood Zone 3. Parts of the site regularly become inaccessible due to flooding during the winter. This project aims to mitigate the impact of flooding on the site where possible and to identify options for access and habitat improvements which can be delivered without increasing local flood risk. The main objectives of the project are to: Identify and assess options to minimise overland flow from Bury Lake into Stockers Lake across a causeway path (Rickmansworth Footpath 65), including the section of Footpath 65 north of the two lakes. Improve understanding of the function of the ditch network and identify and assess options to reduce flood risk on the site through improved ditch maintenance. Conduct a feasibility study and options appraisal for a habitat enhancement scheme on the river Colne through the land owned by Three Rivers District Council as shown on the map, including consideration of bank reinforcement where required. Identify and assess options for a habitat enhancement scheme on Batchworth and Bury Lakes, including consideration of bank reinforcement where required. The primary outcome of the project will be outline designs for the preferred options under each objective.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa32b2c8-4a0c-4a26-8cba-20a3635bd6b7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 15 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jan 2024 - 1 Jun 2024 | | 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 | THREE RIVERS DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | RICKMANSWORTH | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD3 1RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Three Rivers | | Electoral ward | Rickmansworth Town | | Westminster constituency | South West Hertfordshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71317000 - Hazard protection and control consultancy services - 71351200 - Geological and geophysical consultancy services - 71351810 - Topographical services - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services - 71420000 - Landscape architectural services - 90721100 - Landscape protection services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2023 at 13:05 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa32b2c8-4a0c-4a26-8cba-20a3635bd6b7 - 13 Nov 2023 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa32b2c8-4a0c-4a26-8cba-20a3635bd6b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/aa32b2c8-4a0c-4a26-8cba-20a3635bd6b7 14th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Rickmansworth:-Aquadrome-Hydrological-Study/SGB6B687QE Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
