## Summary

The Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is seeking tenders for the River Trent Realignment / Diversion project located in Victoria Park, Stoke-on-Trent. This project, part of the ERDF SUNRISE Project, aims to divert the river Trent and includes the construction of approximately 500m of a new river channel. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 20 December 2019. The project, valued at £700,000 and classified under river regulation and flood control works, employs an open procurement method, allowing broad participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in river restoration, construction, and landscaping, particularly those that qualify as small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Contractors with experience in environmental projects, particularly in restoring natural habitats and flood control measures, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project not only enhances your portfolio but also contributes to increasing biodiversity in the region while aligning with environmental sustainability goals.

## Notice

As part of the ERDF SUNRISE Project (funded by the European Regional Development Fund) Staffordshire Wildlife Trust are seeking experienced river restoration contractors to tender for a works contract to divert the river Trent, including construction of a new section of river channel (approx 500m) at Victoria Park, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. On the site of the former Stoke City Football Stadium, Victoria Ground, the Trent currently flows in a deep, concrete channel for approx 200m, before descending two weirs and entering a more natural but still artificially straightened section of channel. This reach has been identified by the Environment Agency as one of the least bio-diverse sections of the Trent still remaining. In association with the current land owner, St Modwen Homes, a new channel design and route has been drawn up which diverts around the channelised section, creating a more natural river habitat and avoiding the weirs. The design is currently the subject of a planning application which is due to conclude in Dec 2019. The work will also include construction of a footpath along the new course of the river, landscaping of the newly created banks, installation of bank protection measures along the new channel and construction of protection / diverting structures as indicated in the design pack. A full Tender pack can be requested from Prosurv Consult, on behalf of Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, by sending a request to VictoriaPark@prosurv.co.uk.
