## Summary

The procurement process titled "Mids - CDF lot 1 - Shropshire Catchment Project Scoping" is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on civil engineering consultancy services within the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This project aims to undertake initial investigatory works for a wider pipeline programme and has a timeline of 6-8 weeks. The contract period commenced on 13 July 2020 and was completed by 31 July 2020, with the procurement method following a selective approach through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 13 July 2020, indicating the project's rapid progression within the procurement framework.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in civil engineering and consultancy services. Businesses with expertise in scoping and assessment for environmental projects would find this an advantageous competitive space. The contract previously awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd exemplifies the type of larger entity involved, highlighting a potential gap for smaller firms to engage and expand their portfolios through collaboration or niche offerings within similar projects in the region.

## Notice

This project aims to enable initial investigatory works to be undertaken in development of the pipeline programme. It is anticipated that this initial scope will take 6-8 weeks of work and result in a more detailed scoping exercise being undertaken for both identified individual projects and catchment-based assessments of work required to support development of the wider programme.
