## Summary

The Horsey Wetland Project, overseen by the Broads Authority, seeks to engage a qualified contractor to develop a new wetland site on the Upper Thurne River, situated just north of Horsey Mere in the East of England. This project is classified under environmental engineering consultancy services, with a total value of £25,000. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, and the tender period has ended, with key dates including a contract period from 14 September 2021 to 30 November 2021. The authority is based at 62-64 Thorpe Road, Norwich, and the contact for further inquiries is Andrea Kelly, reachable at andrea.kelly@broads-authority.gov.uk or by telephone at 01603 610734.

This project presents substantial opportunities for businesses in environmental engineering and construction, particularly those capable of performing wetland restoration. Companies experienced in ecological compliance, earthworks, and water management would find this tender particularly suitable. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project is designed to accommodate their capabilities, thereby potentially fostering growth in a competitive market.

## Notice

The Broads Authority, through the CANAPE project, is seeking a suitably qualified contractor to create a new wetland site on the Upper Thurne River just north of Horsey Mere. The existing site is a grass and rush pasture grazed by cattle. The site already has an earth bund around the northern and eastern and southern edges. These will be topped via an excavator and possibly a soil stripper and five surface scraped compartments ready for planting and seeding wetland vegetation. The main parts of the tender include: 1. Gaining licences and complying with water vole and protected species mitigation. 2. Installing a water control structure through a flood bank to take water from the Waxham cut to the bunded field for filtration and growing wetland plants. 3. Excavating low-level earth bunds following herbicide application and tillage, connecting to existing low bunds, to create five wetland compartments of a total of 1.3ha wetland.
