## Summary

The proposed Teddington DRA Project is part of Thames Water's Water Resources Management Plan 2024. It aims to safeguard against drought, transferring water from the River Thames to East London reservoirs. The project is currently in the design phase and involves tunnelling and construction works. The Market Engagement Event will be held on 24th January 2024 in London, providing suppliers with an opportunity to engage with the project.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses in the construction, engineering, and environmental services sectors.
