The brief

This contract is for the completion of a research project that will assess the impact of phosphorus reduction from sewage treatment works on river ecology.

This will include detailed statistical/spatial analysis of EA monitoring data.

The supplier will produce deliverables including data outputs files, computer code, a report detailing the findings of the research, and a seminar presenting findings to EA staff.

It is important that the EA has a robust understanding of the impacts of mitigation measures on receiving waters, in order to justify future investment, to ensure money is being spent where it is most effective.

The EA will also benefit from an improved understanding of the nutrient/ecology relationship and the suitability of existing water quality standards.

This research project requires an external supplier and single tender action due to a lack of the required skills in-house, and the specific professional expertise and knowledge needed to undertake the analysis and interpretation of findings.
