## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal has awarded a contract for the project titled "River Water Temperature Projections" that focuses on understanding potential climate change impacts on future water ecosystems. The project aims to assess how river water temperature changes can affect water quality and ecological responses. The contract, valued at £98,229, was awarded to the University of Birmingham. The tender process was completed on 27th September 2022, and the contract period is from 11th October 2022 to 30th November 2023.

This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the services sector, particularly those offering research services, to contribute to climate change studies and ecological resilience projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable for this project. The tender method used was an open procedure above the threshold, inviting competition from various eligible organisations. The location for the project spans multiple countries, including the United Kingdom and British Oversea Territories.

## Notice

Contract Award for River Water Temperature Projections. The Environment Agency wants to know how potential climate change impacts may affect future water ecosystems. We know broadly how the UK climate is likely to change and we have information about how river flows and groundwater levels will alter. We have much less clarity about where, when and how water temperature may change. River water temperature has a critical influence on river ecosystems, affecting water quality, water resources and ecological responses. Understanding where temperature may change can inform the implementation of adaption measures such as riparian shading, which may be effective at increasing ecological resilience.
