## Notice

Natural England wishes to commission a desk based analysis of estuarine morphological equilibrium at Alde-Ore Estuary SSSI, Deben Estuary SSSI and Hamford Water SSSI using the Healthy Estuaries 2020 Toolbox.software and methodology already developed. We want the Healthy Estuaries methodology alone to form the basis of this study. The analysis will trial the application of the methodology at the three sites and will provide information on the 'health' of these sites with regards to coastal squeeze. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered.
