## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a public authority under sub-central government classification, is the buying organisation behind the procurement for the "Great Ouse Collective Action Project Scoping." It focuses on services within the natural resources management industry category. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with key focus areas being Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, notable for their fresh produce supply and water-related challenges. Interested parties have until 7th July 2025 to submit their responses electronically, with the contract period anticipated to start on 28th July 2025 and end on 31st October 2025. This open procurement method is classified as below threshold - open competition, with an allocated budget of £20,000 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand into sustainable water management and conservation strategy planning. It is especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in natural resource management or conservation. The procurement encourages innovative methodologies and cross-sector collaborations to address shared water risks. Businesses with strong delivery capabilities and skilled teams would be well positioned to compete, providing ample chance for growth and further engagement with WRAP's Water Roadmap initiatives linked to biodiversity, climate resilience, and sustainable food sourcing.

## Notice

WRAP's Water Roadmap is the delivery mechanism for the UK Food & Drink Pact target that 50% of the UK's fresh food is sourced from areas with sustainable water management. It also contributes to wider goals including UN Sustainable Development Goal 6, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience through nature-based solutions. As part of this, WRAP is supporting the development of Collective Action Projects in priority sourcing regions across the UK. These projects aim to identify shared water risks and coordinate cross-sector solutions with other NGOs, businesses, land managers, and local partners. Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire have been identified as key focus areas due to their importance in UK fresh produce supply and growing water-related pressures, coupled with being home to some of the most unique landscapes in the UK, ranging from lowland peat to chalk streams. This procurement covers the delivery of a scoping phase that will form the foundation for a future Collective Action Project that will tie into existing work in Norfolk and cover Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
