This project aims to restore migratory routes for various fish species in the Forest of Dean. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with a total contract value estimated between £70,000 and £80,000. The contract is set to begin on 13 December 2017 and will last until 31 March 2019, with a tender deadline for expressions of interest on 1 December 2017. This tender represents an opportunity for SMEs specialising in construction project management and environmental services, particularly those with experience in aquatic restoration projects. Businesses well-equipped to engage in this contract will likely need strong collaboration skills and the capability to liaise with multiple stakeholders, including local councils and environmental agencies, to ensure compliance with ecological standards. Firms that can demonstrate relevant experience in similar undertakings will find this procurement advantageous for expanding their project portfolio and gaining exposure in environmental work within the public sector. ## Notice The Forestry Commission will be awarding a contract for the design and implementation of works to deliver a fish pass and eel pass at Blakeney Village Weir in the Forest of Dean. This will need to restore the migratory route for five migratory fish species and for residential fish in the Blackpool Brook. Our intention is to award this contract for a period of 15 months Dec 2017 to March 2019. The total value of this contract over the entire period will be in the region of PS70,000 - PS80,000. The appointed contractor will need to work with the weir owners Gloucestershire County Council (who are the responsible highway agency for the A48 and the side road - either side of the brook) and with Awre & Blakeney Parish Council which own a small village green downstream of the weir. They will also need to work with the Environment Agency, Natural England and Forest of Dean District Council to ensure that the works are carried out appropriately, given that The Severn Estuary is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Area of Conservation, SPA and .Ramsar site for migratory fish assemblage.
