In plain English
Devon County Council wants consultants to design and assess three river and flood projects in the Blackdown Hills area and wider South West. The work covers detailed design for two weirs on the River Wolf near Honiton, flood risk studies and design to improve flood resilience at a railway crossing near Cullompton, and specialist consultants for a water quality project across the South West.
What the buyer wants
• Detailed design for two weir modifications on the River Wolf (Marles weir and Weston weir), working with the Blackdown Hills National Landscape team. • Flood Risk Assessment preparation and progression to Detailed Design to improve flood resilience at the Hele Railway Crossing at three sites (Smithincott Extension, Spratcot Site in Cullompton, and Sheldon Catchment). • Commissioning specialist consultants to deliver two water quality focused strands, overseen by a Project Steering Group.
Lots
- River Wolf Wier Modifications
- Connecting the Culm FlooR3 Extension Project
- Water Quality Outfall
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any specific qualifications, certifications or experience thresholds, but the work is specialist design and flood risk assessment for a single estimated value of £490,000 across three lots, so small firms without established flood risk, hydrology or river engineering design experience would likely struggle to compete.
