## Summary

The Tweed Forum is seeking tenders for the "River Nith Overcairn Corridor Restoration Hydraulic Modelling & Technical Design" project, pertaining to the environmental protection industry. This procurement is in the active tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 25 January 2021. The project is located in the vicinity of New Cumnock, UK, and is being conducted via an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to submit proposals. Key contact for this procurement is Chris Horrill, who can be reached at +44 1896849723 or via email at chris.horrill@tweedforum.org.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental restoration and hydraulic engineering. Companies equipped with expertise in river restoration design and modelling, as well as those experienced in developing technical construction drawings, would be particularly well-suited to compete. This project not only aims to restore the river's ecological health but also encourages collaboration with various stakeholders, thereby opening avenues for businesses looking to expand their operations in environmental services.

## Notice

The Services to be commissioned are to develop the outline designs for river restoration at Over Cairn into 'technical for construction' drawings and including updating and undertaking modelling for Over Cairn proposals and the wider river restoration scheme between New Cumnock to March Bridge. This will include reviewing and updating existing catchment hydrology, and updating hydraulic models to incorporate changes present on the ground (including as-built Afton Water flood scheme, completed restoration works at Castlemains Farm and Meikle Garclaugh Farm, and latest proposals for Blackwood) as well as developing and modelling restoration designs for Over Cairn. The detailed design will be informed by the hydraulic modelling results, the outline design and the preferences of the Employer.
