## Summary

Portsmouth Water is initiating a procurement process for the Hermitage Stream Catchment Restoration Framework Agreement. The procurement falls under the works category, specifically focusing on river regulation and flood control works. The project, valued at approximately £7,295,044, is located in South Hampshire (UKJ31). Portsmouth Water will use a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, progressing in successive stages. The deadline for the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire submission is March 14, 2025. Following pre-qualification, four applicants will be shortlisted to submit tenders, with negotiations potentially occurring in stages to finalise the contract by April 17, 2025.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in civil and environmental engineering, particularly those with experience in watercourse and habitat improvement projects. Companies offering services such as detailed design, construction, erosion protection, excavation, and planting will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The selected suppliers will gain the chance to secure a framework agreement, leading to further mini-competitions for subsequent project phases. This framework provides a stable pipeline of work and potential for long-term collaboration with Portsmouth Water, enhancing business portfolios and expertise in environmental restoration projects.
