The procurement falls under the "Environmental protection" industry category and is at the planning stage. Key dates include an open period for pre-tender market engagement from 22nd September to 14th October 2022. This tender for on-farm infrastructure improvements offers opportunities for small-scale agri-civils contractors in the river catchments of Cleddau, Tywi, Usk, and Teifi in Wales. The project aims to improve ecological quality, manage land practices, and promote best farming techniques. Businesses involved in river restoration, habitat improvement, and water quality management are well-suited to compete for this procurement. ## Notice On-farm infrastructure improvements including but not limited to draining work and stock fencing to reduce nutrients and sediments such as soil run-off from agricultural land entering water courses. ### Lot Information Cleddau Catchment On-farm Infrastructure Improvements Hysbyseb ar gael yn Gymraeg gan cathryn.mackinlay@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk NRW is undertaking pre-tender market engagement to improve its understanding of the capability and available capacity of small scale agri-civils contractors to help NRW deliver the objectives of the 4RiversforLIFE project. The pre-tender market engagement is being carried out with a view to undertaking a procurement exercise in autumn 2022 to appoint contractors to deliver the work. The forthcoming works are to be delivered under the 4RiversforLIFE Project, an ambitious, large-scale river restoration project to improve the condition of four major rivers in Wales: Teifi, Cleddau, Tywi and Usk. These four rives are classed as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) which means they are of international importance for their wildlife and plants such as salmon, lamprey, shad, otters and water crowfoot. This project will use long term nature-based solutions to improve the ecological quality of the four rivers by improving accessibility for migratory fish, improving habitat structure and function, and improving water quality. An important aspect is improvement of land management practices - preventing nutrients and sediments such as soil run-off from agricultural land by working with farmers and landowners to promote best practice farming techniques. The project aims to do this through working in partnership with local communities, landowners and contractors. The works in scope of this procurement will include but not be limited to:- -Creation of riverside corridors with stock fencing and tree planting -Improving on-farm drainage -Pipework including water troughs off mains or pumped from natural water supplies -Concreting yards -Roof water guttering -Grey water harvesting -Tree planting -Hardcore for gateways NRW will be holding an open period for pre-tender market engagement between 22nd September and 14th October 2022.
