## Summary

The Ribble Catchment Conservation Trust Limited is seeking qualified civil engineering contractors for the construction of a rock ramp fish easement at Hoghton Bottoms Weir on the River Darwen, located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender, which falls under the category of waterside leisure facilities construction work, presents an opportunity for businesses to engage in environmental improvement works as part of the BRILLIaNCE project, funded by the European Structural and Investment Fund. The tender was published on 15th November 2017, with a tender period that closed on 21st December 2017. The contract is valued at £65,000 and commenced on 28th May 2018, running until 30th September 2018.

This project represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in civil engineering, particularly those with experience in river engineering and environmental improvement works. Companies involved in flood control measures, dam construction, and aquatic eco-systems would be well suited to compete for such projects. As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, there is potential for growth through collaboration or subcontracting with larger firms involved in these types of contracts.

## Notice

Blackburn's Rivers Important to Lancashire's Landscape and Natural Capital Economy (BRILLIaNCE) is an ambitious project supported with funding from the European Structual and Investment Fund to deliver physical improvements to the Rivers Darwen and Roddlesworth within Blackburn. We are seeking interest from suitable Civil Engineering Contractors to deliver the creation of a fish easement in the form of a rock ramp. Specifically the works are required to construct a fish easement on Hoghton Bottoms Weir on the River Darwen. The weir is a high vertical horse-shoe stone weir with an irregular bedrock outcrop on the left side. This is a complete barrier to the migration of fish such as trout and eels. The fish pass will be created by building a retaining wall up the bedrock outcrop on the (true) left of the weir. An embedded rock-ramp will be constructed between the new wall and the existing channel wall, enabling fish to swim up and over the weir. The rock ramp will have a rough surface to create a turbulent flow. It will include a central low-flow channel to enable fish passage in low flow conditions. Additional information: Tender Documentation including the invitation to tender can be found on the Ribble Rivers Trust website www.ribbletrust.org.uk/about-us/contract-opportunities/brilliance-contract-opportunity/
