## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal has awarded a contract for the 'North East Area Magnesian Limestone Conceptual Model and Source Protection Zone Updates' project. The procurement method was an open procedure (below threshold). The contract period runs from 11th November 2022 to 31st July 2023, with a tender period ending on 21st September 2022. The project falls under the industry category of Mapping software development services.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for SMEs and organisations specializing in environmental solutions. The project aims to enhance understanding of the limestone aquifer in the North East, contributing to sustainable water resource management. Businesses with expertise in groundwater assessment and environmental modeling would be suitable candidates to compete in this tender process.

## Notice

Our ability to meet the requirements of the National Framework for Water resources will be underpinned by the availability of critical tools for the assessment, investigation and management of groundwater and its relationship to the wider natural environment. This is especially the case when it comes to our detailed understanding of key water supply aquifers and abstractions and whether/how they can be managed sustainably. The magnesian limestone conceptual modelling work will deliver a product that will improve our current understanding of the limestone aquifer across the North East. The source protection zone work will utilise the improved conceptual understanding to produce updated regulatory tools to protect the quality of key aquifers and water supply abstractions. With that updated conceptual model and source protection zones we will have a much more reliable decision-support tool for the major decisions that we need to take in line with the great ambitions of the EA2025 Action Plan and other similar aspirations for a healthy water environment.
