The model, originally developed almost two decades ago, needs to be updated with recent data until December 2021. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold) with a tender period ending on December 6, 2022. The contract period is scheduled from January 3, 2023, to March 31, 2024. This opportunity falls under the main procurement category of services. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that provide design-modelling services to compete for the contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate. Businesses interested in this opportunity should visit the provided link to register their interest in the project and download the bidder pack. The procurement is being carried out by the Environment Agency, located in London, United Kingdom. ## Notice The EA is looking to procure one Contractor to deliver the requirements outlined in this Opportunity Notice. A separate contract will be commissioned for an External Peer Reviewer (EPR), who will assist the EA and Contractor on the main contract with decision making and quality checks as part of the Task Review Team. It is now close to two decades since the original groundwater model was developed. It requires updating with meteorological, abstraction and hydrometric data time series data from January 2002 to December 2021, so that it is up to date, and the EA can use it confidently to manage the water resources and assess impacts of abstraction. The model also requires upgrading from MODFLOW 96 to the modelling codes agreed by the project team.
