The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been awarded on 22nd February 2021. This initiative aims to enhance the Environment Agency’s ability to manage and protect water resources within the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer through improved geological understanding and updated groundwater modelling. The project is relevant for locations within the UK, particularly in the East Midlands and Yorkshire, and it utilised an open procedure for the procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental services, particularly those specialised in geological modelling, water resource management, and environmental protection. Companies that possess expertise in creating sophisticated numerical models or have experience working with water regulations would be well-positioned to compete for similar projects. Additionally, SMEs that are adept in related fields and can provide specialised solutions may find suitable avenues for growth by engaging in such environmentally-focused procurement opportunities.

## Notice

The overarching objective for this project is to improve the Environment Agency'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 (undertaken in Phase 1) should be used to generate an updated, unified, reliable numerical groundwater model covering both the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer of the East Midlands and the Yorkshire areas.
