This sits in the lower-middle of the Education & Training band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 23,516 valued Education & Training tenders in our corpus.
Environment Agency publishes Education & Training work continuously — 23 notices, roughly one every 18 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
23% of Environment Agency’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
This is a training course covering the environmental impacts of groundwater abstraction, structured modularly to accommodate a section on foundational concepts, accompanied by an advanced technical section including relevant case studies and problems.
The training should provide delegates with both a broad understanding of groundwater abstraction and the knowledge required to assess abstraction-related risks within regulatory and environmental management contexts.
This includes responding to Groundwater Investigation Consents (GICs), abstraction licence applications, planning consultations, environmental improvement programmes and issues relating to sustainable abstraction.
It will be taught in the context of effective decision-making, enabling new starters and existing staff to critically evaluate GIC applications and apply their knowledge to other regulatory decision making.
