## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the project titled "Tilford Gauging Station and Hell Ditch Improvements," managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This initiative falls under the civil engineering and construction industry category, taking place in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached the Award phase, with the contract awarded on 30th July 2020, having a total value of £91,796.01. The contract period commenced on 31st July 2020 and is set to conclude on 18th January 2021.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in construction and environmental improvement works, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies specialising in ecological projects, habitat restoration, and fish passage construction would be well-positioned to compete. Furthermore, the procurement method being a selective tendering process highlights that qualified businesses may have chances to secure contracts under framework agreements, ultimately contributing to their growth and participation in similar ecological projects.

## Notice

This project builds on a strategic programme of works to get the River Wey and its tributaries to 'good ecological status' and to improve the population of migratory fish including eels, sea trout and, potentially, salmon. To date this programme of works, known as the Wey FWD, has secured mechanisms for the delivery of fish passes from the confluence with the Thames at Weybridge upstream to Westbrook Mill. This opens up fish passage for approximately 100km. However, to secure 'good ecological status', and to ensure that fish are able to reach good quality spawning grounds, the gravel dominated headwaters of the Wey catchment need to be accessible. In addition to this, the quality of the habitat on tributaries and distributaries lower down the catchment also need to be improved. The work proposed under this contract helps to secure both of these objectives through the implementation of two pieces of work, which have been packaged together to secure efficiencies: - Delivery item 1: Fish passage at Tilford Gauging Station. - Delivery item 2: Habitat improvements on the Hell Ditch.
