## Summary

The Hoveton Wetland Restoration Project, titled "Fish Removal," is led by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on environmental services within the United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 21st October 2019. This initiative aims to restore Hoveton Great Broad and Hudson's Bay, as part of a broader effort to improve ecological conditions identified as having Poor Ecological Status, with a contract period commencing on 18th November 2019 and concluding on 30th November 2021.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and third sector organisations with expertise in environmental services. Businesses specialising in ecological restoration, sediment management, and community engagement initiatives would be well-suited to compete, as the project will involve activities aimed at enhancing site accessibility and community involvement in wetland management. Participation in this project not only supports environmental sustainability but also fosters local engagement and educational opportunities.

## Notice

The Hoveton Wetlands Restoration project aims to deliver the restoration of Hoveton Great Broad and Hudson's Bay. These broads form part of the Bure Broads and Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), the Broadland Special Protection Area (SPA), The Broads Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Broadland Ramsar Site. They also form part of the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve. However under the Water Framework Directive they are currently classified as having Poor Ecological Status and the SSSI status of the broads is Unfavourable. Restoration will be achieved through a combination of sediment removal and biomanipulation, restoring them to Favourable Condition and Good Ecological Status. The project will also improve the existing access to, and on, the site, create new access through the adjacent Hoveton Marshes and hosting a number of activities and events for volunteers, local people, visitors and lake restoration specialists. Its aim is to enable more people to visit the site, become actively involved in its management and learn about the project and the importance of lake restoration. This project is part of the Bure LIFE Project (LIFE14 NAT/UK/000054) which is financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. It is also supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Fund.
