## Summary

The public procurement contracting process for the project titled "8587 Re-issue Hydroelectric Power in Historic Landscapes - AWARD" has been completed. The buying organisation, Historic England, located in Swindon, United Kingdom, initiated this tender for research and development services related to investigating micro-hydro schemes within historic landscapes. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with a contract period starting on 6th March 2023 and ending on 31st October 2023, with a contract value of £19,709 GBP.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in research and development services within the historic environment sector. Companies specializing in consultancy services related to micro-hydro schemes can benefit from this tender. The project aims to maximise the potential of micro-hydro technologies in historic landscapes, offering a unique opportunity for sustainable energy solutions while repurposing existing assets such as historic water mills to generate hydroelectric power.

## Notice

This project is to investigate the performance of a cross-section of micro-hydro schemes currently operating within historic landscapes in the UK. Despite being a well-established and mature technology, high capital costs, may deter investment and prevent the use of a readily available energy resource. The historic built environment has the potential to overcome economic barriers associated with new hydroelectric schemes. Historic water mills, which would otherwise be stranded assets, have the potential to be re-purposed for hydroelectric power generation. As well as being favourably sited to maximise energy potential, readapting water mills has the potential to reduce the embodied carbon emissions and overall environmental impact compared to constructing a new hydropower scheme. Whilst there are numerous live examples of these projects across the UK, there is a need to integrate best practice so that the latent potential of micro hydro can be maximised where feasible.
