## Summary

Natural England, a public authority within the central government of the United Kingdom, initiated a procurement process under the title "2025 Pocklington Canal Water Quality Survey". The tender aimed to conduct a comprehensive water quality survey between April 2025 and March 2026. Despite the procurement method being open competition, no tenders were received and the contract was not awarded. The contracting process was planned to occur in the environmental services industry category, specifically focusing on the Pocklington Canal located in the UKE region. Notably, the procurement phase reached the tender cancellation stage, with relevant communications and enquiries closing by mid-March 2025.

This tender represented potential business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in environmental services, particularly those capable of providing water quality analyses through site observations and chemical testing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in laboratory and handheld meter analysis would have been well-suited to contribute valuable insights towards assessing the Canal against SSSI monitoring specifications. Furthermore, regional businesses could have leveraged their location proximity to optimise operational efficiency in delivering the required services. While the closure of this tender curtailed immediate opportunities, similar future contracts could revive competitive prospects for businesses in this niche sector.

## Notice

A number of on-site parameters will be recorded and chemical analysis undertaken of water samples. Analysis is likely to involve a combination handheld meters and laboratory analysis. An evaluation of the results should be undertaken against the SSSI monitoring specification.
