## Summary

The Environment Agency (EA) has awarded a contract to WSP UK Ltd for the project titled "RDE 398 - Review of NVZ Designations." The contract involves a detailed assessment to confirm potential areas for designation or de-designation as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs). The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is from 2nd January 2024 to 31st May 2024, and the tender period ended on 1st January 2024.

This procurement opportunity in the "Research and development consultancy services" category presents business growth prospects for firms involved in environmental analysis and consultancy. Companies with experience in water quality monitoring, designation methods, and land use analysis are well-suited to compete. The project location spans various regions, including British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

## Notice

This contract will deliver a detailed assessment of the specific areas identified through the previously commissioned assessment, as having potential for designation or de-designation as NVZs, in order to: - Confirm if any areas identified for potential designation have previously been successfully appealed (EA will provide details of previous Appeal outcomes) - Source and summarise the available water quality monitoring data for the identified areas (the previous assessment used data up to January 2023) and then analyse the available monitoring data for these areas to assess the strength of evidence, in line with the designation / de-designation methods (including land use / loading evidence)1 , for potential new designation, extension or modification of an existing designation or de-designation (either partially or wholly). The contract was awarded by EA.
