NWL165 GillyMease Confluence Scheme

Tenders are invited for the supply of Ground Works Excavation for delivery of the Gilly Mease confluence scheme. The ground works contractors are required to construct a wetland sediment trapping scheme on an area of scrub land bordered by the River Mease and the Gilwiskaw Brook in Leicestershire. The aim is to reduce phosphate levels within the watercourses and create valuable wetland habitat. The project will be managed by the Trent Rivers Trust on behalf of North West Leicestershire District Council. It is estimated delivery of the scheme will take between 10-12 weeks starting in July 2021. The fees requested are for the delivery of the scheme in the specification in its entirety and not limited to a specific timeframe, the estimated timeframe is given for information only. The delivery window is non negotiable due to in channel works being restricted by fish breeding cycles. Tenders should only be submitted if you have the availability to undertake works between July and October 2021.
