This procurement process is active and operates within the open procurement method (below threshold), targeting a contract value of £80,000. The tender period closes on 13th December 2019, and the scheduled contract delivery runs from 13th January to 31st March 2020, located at the Leek Road Campus of Staffordshire University in Stoke-on-Trent, West Midlands. This opportunity presents a significant growth potential for businesses engaged in waterway restoration, environmental engineering, and ecological consultancy. Companies with experience in river restoration projects, particularly those equipped to create natural habitats and enhance geomorphological features, are well-suited to compete. The project also accommodates small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), making it an accessible venture for niche contractors aiming to contribute to local environmental initiatives. ## Notice Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is looking for experienced river restoration contractors to tender for a works contract to deliver a prepared river restoration design on approx 400m of the River Trent. The section of the river which this contract relates to is on the Leek Road Campus of Staffordshire University, Stoke-on-Trent. The current condition of the river is artificially straightened and rock armoured allowing for little in the way of geomorphological diversity or dynamism, and limiting the potential of this stretch of the river to develop habitat features suitable for supporting a full range of native species. The prepared design includes creating new sections of channel to restore meander features, also the creation of side channels and pools, and the installation of gravels (the supply of gravels is the subject of a separate contract). The target delivery period is during September and October 2020. A full tender pack can be be downloaded from the link below.
