## Summary

The Somerset Council is initiating a tender for the River Sowy/ Kings Sedgemoor Drain - Bank Raising Project. This project falls under the industry category of Construction work and Engineering works. The engagement end date for potential suppliers to express interest is set for 6th December 2023. The project involves raising a 1.8km bank on the left bank of the King Sedgemoor Drain in Somerset to a consistent height of 3.85 aod, with estimated import of 2,500m3 of bulked material.

This tender opportunity by Somerset Council can be beneficial for businesses in the construction and engineering sectors. Companies capable of delivering bulk material importation and bank raising services are well-suited to compete. The project planning stage allows suppliers to assess market interest and contribute to defining the scope, objectives, deliverables, and budget. By engaging with this tender, businesses can explore growth opportunities and potentially secure a contract with the Somerset Council.

## Notice

The Somerset Rivers Authority (Somerset Council) is looking to assess market interest to deliver potential works on the Kings Sedgemoor Drain near Westonzoyland, Somerset. This will help inform the scope, objectives, deliverables, and budget for any potential work. There are outstanding works to be completed to ensure that the outcomes of this phase of works are achieved. Namely the raising of a 1.8km bank on the left bank (looking downstream) of the King Sedgemoor Drain (KSD) to a consistent consolidated height of 3.85 aod. We estimate 2,500m3 of bulked material will need to be imported. The maximum bank height at any one given point will be 500mm with some existing banks already at the height of 3.85 aod.
