The project is set to cover regions in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and Bedfordshire, aimed at sustainable water management for the UK Food & Drink Pact. The procurement method was limited due to the below-threshold nature of the competition.

The awarded contract provides frameworks for collaboration with NGOs, businesses, and local partners, fostering strategic innovation and resource conservation, enhancing sustainability outcomes in the agricultural and environmental sectors. Large organisations like Ricardo-AEA Ltd, with established capabilities in these areas, are well-suited to thrive in such endeavours.
