Details

The Environment Agency is seeking quotations for a project to develop a tool for assessing groundwater risks arising from the application of treated final effluent (TFE) to agricultural land. The project will develop predictive hydrogeological modelling to support assessments of the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) "prevent and limit" requirements for hazardous substances, including selected PFAS, and non-hazardous pollutants. The modelling outputs will be used to create a simple assessment tool suitable for use by non-specialists. Deliverables include the assessment tool, user guidance documentation, and recommendations on how the approach could be adapted for future applications of sludge to land. The project is intended to support regulatory assessments of TFE deployment proposals by providing a proportionate and efficient means of evaluating groundwater risk. Quotations are due by 7 September 2026, with contract award anticipated on 5 October 2026, project commencement on 12 October 2026, draft deliverables due by 25 January 2027, and final project sign-off on 28 February 2027.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
