This open procurement process falls under the works category and is set to conclude on 30 July 2021 at 09:00. The contract is expected to commence on 1 September 2021 and last until 3 January 2022. The project is located at Seasalter Levels, postcode CT5 3BJ, and has been published as part of the government's procurement procedures. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for construction firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their business by participating in ecological and habitat improvement projects. Companies that specialise in earthworks, landscape management, or wetland restoration will find themselves ideally suited to respond to this tender, which requires a range of engineering deliverables to create water-retaining features and manage livestock areas effectively. ## Notice Over the course of 2021, this project will undertake engineering works to enhance the in-field topography and disconnect the areas from the landscape drainage regime in order to provide habitats for wetland birds. We will create discrete hydrological units across the Seaslater Levels designed to capture rainfall and be supplemented by surface water abstractions, in order to provide the required hydrological conditions for the desired habitat. To do this, groundworks are required to create the water retaining features and, to improve the habitat more generally. Using a cut and fill approach, these works should create a number of new or modified structures during a programme of phased groundworks including the creation of: islands, rills, perimeter lips, low point 'plugs', crossing points/culverts, crossing points /dams, ditch reprofiling and the decommissioning of selected land drains. In addition we require some areas to be dressed with hardstanding in areas used for livestock management and turning points for vehicles. The winning Tender bid will become Principal Contractor for the Seasalter South unit which including LNR and Monkshill areas.
