## Description

Catchment Partnerships in London would work with volunteers to collect suspended solid samples on tributaries of the Thames in London\. The output would be a pollutant profile for each river with a known relationship to suspended solids as a proxy\. This would be used to highlight the areas that are worst affected by urban runoff and where intervention, such as SuDS and sediment traps, would be most effectively targeted on each waterbody\. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions\. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered\. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra\. If you’re already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents\. If you have any problems with the registration process, please contact the Bravo helpline on 0800 368 4850 or alternatively email them at help@bravosolution\.co\.uk\. The link you require for new registration/amendments to registrations is - https://defra\.bravosolution\.co\.uk
