The initiative, a collaborative effort with the Greater Cambridge Partnership and Darwin College, seeks to restore water flow in Sheep's Green Local Nature Reserve. The tender, part of an open competition procurement method, is active and situated in the works category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in river restoration and environmental rehabilitation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, may find this tender suitable as it involves public sector work through an open competition format, focusing predominantly on quality (70%) and price (30%). Companies with expertise in navigating complex environmental projects in sensitive locations will find this contract appealing, providing a chance to expand their portfolio and work in a high-profile area near Cambridge's historic city centre.

## Notice

Cambridge City Council, working in partnership with Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) (principal funder) and Darwin College (Tenant leaseholder of part of the land), are seeking to restore permanent water flow to seasonally dry channels flowing through our Sheep's Green Local Nature Reserve in Newnham, Cambridge. These channels have been historically disconnected from the floodplain through the artificial raising of the main river and parallel Mill Race (Snobs Brook) to power the historic water mills and more recently aid recreational navigation. We are seeking an experienced river restoration contractor to deliver the scheme on this sensitive, public site close to the historic city centre.
