## Notice

ESPO 3S_18 Strategic HR Services - Lot 1 - Executive and Managerial Recruitment The Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) is a key mechanism to deliver benefits to the natural environment. With increasing pressures from pollution, population growth and climate change, the WINEP needs to evolve to deal with these growing challenges and provide a cleaner environment for society. Ofwat, the Environment Agency (EA) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) have together formed a dedicated 'WINEP Taskforce' (T F) to deliver these changes, ahead of the next periodic review of water company investments (PR24). The aim of the TF is to re-design the WINEP to be more outcome focused and deliver greater benefits to the environment for every pound invested by water companies. There is a need for a PMO Manager to support this TF and the associated work Working with the TF leads (from Ofwat, the EA and Defra) to support the work of the TF, including organising and/or supporting weekly TF lead meetings, monthly TF AG meetings and multiple weekly meetings of the TF's working groups.
