The Environment Agency seeks research services to understand potential climate change impacts on water ecosystems, focusing on river water temperature projections. The contract period is set to begin on 25th October 2022, with options for a 1-year extension.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses in research consultancy services, environmental impact assessment, and environmental consultancy. Companies specialising in climate change research and ecological studies are well-suited to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of businesses to participate.

## Notice

The Environment Agency wants to know how potential climate change impacts may affect future water ecosystems. We know broadly how the UK climate is likely to change and we have information about how river flows and groundwater levels will alter. We have much less clarity about where, when and how water temperature may change. River water temperature has a critical influence on river ecosystems, affecting water quality, water resources and ecological responses. Understanding where temperature may change can inform the implementation of adaption measures such as riparian shading which may be effective at increasing ecological resilience.
