## Summary

The Chesterfield Canal Trust Ltd is seeking consultants to prepare an Environmental Framework for the Doe Lea Valley and to develop an Action Plan for the delivery of a first trial phase. The procurement stage is currently open, with the tender period ending on 31st May 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on 2nd September 2024 and end on 31st July 2025. The procurement falls under the industry category of environmental engineering consultancy services and environmental services, with a contract value of £80,000.

This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialised in environmental services to contribute to the restoration and improvement of the river environment in the Doe Lea Valley. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract. With a focus on tight timescales for submission, interested parties can engage with the Chesterfield Canal Trust Ltd to deliver impactful interventions and shape future phases of the project.

## Notice

The river Doe Lea has suffered a lot with the industrial legacy of north Derbyshire & north Nottinghamshire, particularly from mining and the rapid expansion of communities to serve the mines and other industry. Significant effort has been invested in the last 40 years in cleaning up the river, but there remains a lot to do. Through the Don, Dearne & Rother Network catchment partnership, interested parties have been meeting to share their plans and ambitions for the Doe Lea catchment. It is clear to these parties that there are significant opportunities for partnership working on a catchment scale to expand the scope of intervention and deliver real positive changes to the river environment and the wider catchment. To inform this work, on behalf of potential partners, the Chesterfield Canal Trust is seeking consultants to prepare an Environmental Framework for the Doe Lea Valley and to develop an Action Plan for the delivery of a first trial phase. Subject to funding and endorsement by the potential partners, further work will be commissioned at a later date to monitor and evaluate the success of interventions and to refine and develop the Action Plan for future phases. The details of the work are set out in full in the attached Project Brief or by contacting the Chesterfield Canal Trust Development Manager, George Rogers, development@chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk. The works are subject to receiving grant funding and thus the scope is at a relatively high level and will be subject to further discussion and refinement of the proposals following any funding award and prior to any contract award. Consultants should be minded of the tight timescales for submission, which is due to confirming the scope of proposals for a funding application and so cannot be extended at this time.
