The tender period concluded on 11th November 2025, with the contract period commencing on 1st December 2025 and concluding on 1st December 2026.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for firms specialising in hydrology, environmental data analysis, and flood prevention. Given the focus on quantifying and communicating uncertainties in hydrological data, companies with expertise in environmental science, engineering services, and technology-driven data modelling will find this contract particularly relevant. The collaboration with UKCEH, a large-scale organisation, underscores the potential for expanded networks and growth for businesses that can deliver innovative solutions in flood prevention across varied geographic locations.

## Notice

The requirement for this project phase is to deliver a proof of concept that explores how uncertainty in river level, river flow, and rain gauge data can be quantified and communicated prior to its use in hydrological models. The long-term ambition is to develop methods applicable across the full hydrological range, however this phase anticipates focusing on high flows and rainfall only, aligning with FHIP funding availability and its flood-related objectives.
