## Summary

Cambridge City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Urban Chalk Stream Restoration Projects." Located in Cambridge, the council aimed to enhance the ecological integrity of various chalk streams, including Hobson's Brook, Vicar's Brook, Cherry Hinton Brook, and Coldham's Brook. The contract was awarded to Deben Valley Environmental Ltd, a supplier situated in Bury St. Edmunds.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental management and construction related to water projects.
