## Summary

The Wolverhampton City Council is overseeing the tender process for the project titled "PP18072 - Black Country Blue Network Summative Assessment," which falls under the business services industry category. This procurement, initiated on 16 March 2018, has progressed to the award stage, with a contract announcement made on 26 April 2018. The tender period concluded on 5 April 2018, while the contract period is set to commence on 1 May 2018 and extend until 31 December 2018. The project aims to create an ecological network around the region's waterways and includes a budget of £12,298, backed by the European Regional Development Fund. All work is to be delivered within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the consulting, environmental services, and project management sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criterion supporting their involvement. Competitors should have expertise in developing assessments and working within environmental frameworks, making this a prime opportunity for firms looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts or build relationships with local councils and environmental agencies.

## Notice

Tenders are invited to develop and deliver a summative assessment for the Black Country Blue Network that complies with and satisfies the requirements of the European Regional Development Fund. The Black Country Blue Network project aims to create a high quality ecological network with a diverse range of habitats, centred on the area's historically important waterways and associated green spaces. This will be achieved through a programme of infrastructure and habitat improvements along canals and rivers and other key nature greenspaces linked into this blue network. The improvements will facilitate better visitor management and improved access for local communities. The project is a partnership between the City of Wolverhampton Council, Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, the Environment Agency, Canal and River Trust and Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust. Each delivery partner is delivering sub-projects which together make up the Black Country Blue Network. The project began in January 2017 and will end March 2019. The project is part-funded by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and it is a requirement of the grant to undertake a summative assessment that will be submitted 3 months before the end of the programme.
