This tender is currently in the active stage, having been published on 13th January 2022, with submissions due by 4th February 2022 at 17:00. The project has a total value of £20,000 and falls under the category of natural resources management or conservation strategy planning services. The contract period is slated to commence on 1st March 2022 and will span until 7th July 2022. The procurement method for this opportunity is an open procedure.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in conservation and heritage management, particularly those with expertise in historical site restoration and visitor experience enhancement. Firms with a strong background in environmental consulting, project management, or those that can demonstrate innovative approaches to conservation strategies would be especially well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this procurement could offer successful bidders not only financial benefits but also the chance to enhance their portfolio by working on a site of local and national significance.

## Notice

Leeds City Council (LCC) invites costed proposals for a conservation plan for a unique historic site of national and international significance. The purpose of this commission is to inform longer-term conservation of the site and to develop the visitor experience. Located on two islands between the River Aire and the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal, Thwaite Watermill is an important industrial heritage site two miles from Leeds City Centre. The watermill is a key example of a 19th century grinding mill that continued to use waterpower until 1975 and, as such, is one of the last remaining examples of a working water-powered mill in the UK.
