This initiative falls under the landscape gardening services category, specifically aimed at improving ecological conditions in Tudor Grange Park, located in the West Midlands, England. The tender period is set to close on 25th August 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 6th September 2021 and conclude by 31st October 2021. The estimated value of the contract is between £25,000 and £40,000, and it follows an open procurement method, suitable for a range of suppliers. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in environmental consulting, landscape gardening, or related services. Companies that specialise in ecological assessments, water quality testing, or habitat restoration would be particularly well-suited to compete for this project. The involvement of the European Regional Development Fund underscores the project's significance in promoting environmental sustainability, creating a potentially competitive edge for tenderers that align with these objectives. Registering on the CSW-JETS e-procurement system is advisable to access and express interest in this and future related opportunities. ## Notice Since 2017 Solihull Council has been successful with European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) applications to undertake a wide range of habitat and nature improvement projects. This funding has delivered improved conservation status for habitat across publicly accessible green space within the urban areas of Solihull Borough. Solihull MBC propose environmental improvements in Tudor Grange Park to the large pond and associated watercourses currently in poor ecological condition. The focus of the project is to deliver improved habitat and water quality within the pond and brook which will enhance its wildlife potential. We are inviting consultants to: provide the necessary surveys including water quality testing, silt analysis and topographic surveys; and to provide a feasibility study and outline design of enhancement options. It is expected that the targeted main works will involve silt removal from the pond and the works contract would be carried out during 2022. The works are also expected to include re-naturalisation of the main feeder stream (Alderbrook) which feeds into the pond from west and leaves the pond southward and exits via a culvert in the park, and ecological enhancement of the area where surface water feeds into the pond from the north east side. The watercourse improvements would be expected to include: concrete slab removal and naturalisation of the channel; re-profiling of brook banks; management of bankside trees and shrubs; and planting of native species.
