## Summary

The procurement process titled "Atherton Lake" was managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This initiative falls within the services category, specifically related to project-design services excluding construction work. The procurement took place in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period closed on 13th July 2020, and the contract period is set from 2nd August 2021 to 14th October 2021. The procurement method utilised was selective, carried out as a call-off from a framework agreement, with a contract value of £221,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental management and reservoir maintenance. Companies that focus on hydrological studies, flood management, and infrastructure services would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Engaging in such projects not only enhances a firm's portfolio but also contributes to compliance with critical environmental legislation, thereby fostering business growth in a sector undergoing heightened scrutiny from both public and governmental bodies.

## Notice

Atherton Lake Flood Storage Reservoir is an Environment Agency owned and maintained reservoir that requires maintenance to ensure compliance with the Reservoirs Act. As the Environment Agency is an inspecting authority, we must demonstrate our professional commitment to continue to display our leading role in reservoir management. Failing to do so would endanger the local residents from an EA asset and would cause the EA's reputation to plummet. The demand for this project to be completed is high. This is due to the increased scrutiny on reservoirs from the public and government, especially after the incident at Toddbrook Reservoir.
