## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the development of the Seasalter Levels North marshland by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, a charity focused on environmental protection. The project entails construction works aimed at enhancing specific habitats for wetland birds and involves a detailed engineering plan that started on 1st September 2021 and is expected to conclude by 23rd December 2022. The open tender is currently in the active phase, with bids needing to be submitted by 10th August 2021. The location of the works is at Seasalter Levels near Whitstable in Kent, classified under the construction industry.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for contractors and businesses specialising in construction and environmental engineering. Companies involved in habitat restoration, civil engineering, and those offering sustainable solutions will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to substantial business growth, especially for firms that can demonstrate expertise in the ecological aspect of construction, as well as effective project delivery in complex environments.

## Notice

Over the course of 2021, this project will undertake engineering works to enhance the in-field topography and disconnect the areas from the landscape drainage regime in order to provide habitats for wetland birds. We will create discrete hydrological units across the Seasalter Levels designed to capture rainfall and be supplemented by surface water abstractions, in order to provide the required hydrological conditions for the desired habitat. To do this, groundworks are required to create the water retaining features and, to improve the habitat more generally. Using a cut and fill approach, these works should create a number of new or modified structures during a programme of phased groundworks including the creation of: islands, rills, perimeter lips, low point 'plugs', crossing points/culverts, crossing points /dams, ditch reprofiling and the decommissioning of selected land drains. In addition, we require the supply and installation of a box culvert crossing and some areas to be dressed with hard standing in areas used for livestock management and turning points for vehicles. The winning Tender bid will become Principal Contractor for the Seasalter North unit which includes Alberta and Whitstable Bay Estate (known as 'WBE') areas.
