This project is classified under design-modelling services and aims to enhance the management and protection capabilities of water resources within the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer. The tender period is open until 17:00 on 9th September 2019, with a contract period commencing on 16th September 2019 and lasting until 31st March 2020. Responses must be submitted via email, and clarification questions are due by 12:00 on 2nd September 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure and the estimated value of the contract is £40,000. This tender presents excellent opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their operations in the environmental services sector. Companies equipped with expertise in groundwater modelling, geological surveys, and water resource management would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project can enhance their credibility and experience in managing significant environmental projects, paving the way for further contracts in the public sector. ## Notice The overarching objective for this project is to improve the EA's capability to regulate, manage and protect water resources of the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer. The project aims to do this by improving the conceptualisation of the Sherwood Sandstone using the updated geological knowledge from the recent British Geological Survey's investigations in the Yorkshire area, and from the newly created gridded 3d geological models. The updated conceptualisation of the aquifer will result in the generation of an updated, unified, reliable numerical groundwater model covering both the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer of the East Midlands and the Yorkshire areas.
