## Summary

The "Hoveton Broad Bathymetric Survey" is a public procurement process initiated by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, acting on behalf of Natural England (NE). This project focuses on the Hoveton Great Broad Restoration, which aims to create two clear water lakes by removing sediment to increase the average depth from 0.9m to 1.1m. The tender period for this open procedure concluded on 27 October 2016, with the contract period running from 7 November 2016 to 31 March 2018. The surveys required will take place in the East of England, and the total contract value is £9,900. The award was published on 16 November 2016 and is currently active.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in research and development services, particularly those focused on geological and geophysical surveying. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage in this process. The need for accurate depth readings provides a niche for firms with expertise in environmental consultancy, remote sensing, and data analysis services, allowing them to contribute to critical environmental restoration efforts.
