## Summary

The Eddleston Water Project, initiated by Tweed Forum, focuses on developing a standardised methodology for assessing environmental and social costs and benefits associated with Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures. This tender is categorised under environmental protection services and based in Melrose, UK. The open procurement process has reached the contract award stage, with the award to Mott MacDonald confirmed on 26 May 2020. The tender submission period closed on 11 May 2020, covering the scope of work that aims to enhance flood risk management and habitat improvement in the Eddleston Water catchment area.

This project presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, flood management solutions, and ecosystem services. Companies that have expertise in developing methodologies for ecological assessments or possess strong capabilities in environmental economics would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in such government-led projects allows firms to showcase their expertise, network within the industry, and secure contracts that can enhance their profiles and market presence.

## Notice

To identify, develop and test a standardised methodology that can be used by Flood Authorities and other relevant stakeholders to assess the environmental and social costs and benefits that can be derived from the range of ecosystem services that may be provided through the implementation of different Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures to reduce flood risk, and to demonstrate how this can be integrated into option appraisal processes. The approach will build on the work done on the Eddleston Water catchment, as part of the Scottish Government's long-running study on the effectiveness of NFM measures to reduce flood risk and improve habitats, and on similar studies elsewhere.
