## Summary

The Coquet Restoration Project, overseen by the Environment Agency, focuses on environmental services within the Northumbria region. This project, under the industry category of environmental services, specifically aims to enhance tidal connectivity and restore wetland habitats near Warkworth and Amble. The procurement process, which is now in the award stage, involved a selective procurement method by calling off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £88,595, commenced on 1st October 2025 and is expected to conclude by 26th July 2026. The awarded contract was published on 17th October 2025, with Ove Arup & Partners Limited Primary appointed as the supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental restoration, habitat creation, and ecological improvement. The project requires expertise in delivering a single-stage business case for wetland habitats and enhancing wetland areas to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain targets. Collaborations with entities like Northumbrian Water and Northumberland Estates suggest a need for businesses capable of integrating comprehensive ecological and engineering solutions. While the opportunity is not specifically targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger firms with experience in environmental consulting and sustainable habitat development would be well-suited to engage in similar procurements.

## Notice

The Coquet Estuary Restoration Project aims to restore tidal connectivity and create wetland habitats between Warkworth and Amble. This will reverse historic land management impacts, improve the estuary's ecological status from Moderate to Good in line with the Northumbria River Basin Management Plan (2015), and deliver mitigation for the effects of historic sea defences. This phase of the project looks to increase the freshwater habitats on the land on the west of the A1068 Road ( see figure 1 below), in future years there will be opportunities to explore intertidal connectivity in other phases of this project. Objectives 1. Develop a Single Stage Business Case (SBC) to provide wetland habitats to targeted land parcels. 2. Deliver the programme of works as highlighted in the appendix 1 deliverables list. 3. Enhance wetland habitats to meet Biodiversity Net Gain targets. 4. Build upon Outline design concept ( Figure 2 above) to provide a detailed design that can be handed to our contractors for delivery. 5. Support carbon reduction through habitat-based sequestration. 6. Improve protected areas and contribute to Water Framework Directive (WFD) compliance. 7. Collaborate with Northumbrian Water, Northumberland Estates, and Northumberland County Council to integrate works with wider schemes. 8. Enhance public amenity by improving rights of way and encouraging safe environmental interaction.
