The Northumbrian Water Group Limited has awarded a contract for the North East Catchment Hub to support catchment and nature-based solutions in PR24. The contract aims to further catchment investigations and activities until March 2025 across 47 water bodies to meet Water Framework Directive requirements by 2035. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication, and the contract was negotiated within a strategic alliance established with The Rivers Trust.

This tender for environmental engineering consultancy services presents business growth opportunities for firms with expertise in ecological solutions, water management, and environmental consultancy. Businesses focused on catchment-based approaches, water quality management, and sustainable development may find this tender particularly well-suited for enhancing their portfolio and establishing partnerships in the water sector.

## Notice

To support the development of catchment & nature-based solutions (C&NBS) in PR24, NWG created a strategic partnership with The Rivers Trust (the national organisation providing support for the Catchment Based Approach) in April 2022. The NWG/Rivers Trust partnership established the North East Catchments Hub (NECH); a new, currently informal organisation, which has brought catchment resources, expertise and partner engagement capacity into the region to support our work. This contract has been awarded to enable further catchment investigations and activities up to March 2025. This will support catchment activities across 47 water bodies, representing investment in catchment solutions to meet requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), to be delivered in partnership by 2035.
