Description

Ferry Field is split into two distinct sections: a saline lagoon and freshwater wet grassland. The saline lagoon hosts a range of waders and wildfowl, but in summer it dries out hugely. This makes the pool hypersaline and unable to support important flora and fauna.

The wet grassland part of the field also struggles to hold water. Although natural rills can be seen they are ill-defined and need refreshing. There is huge predation pressure around this field from foxes and badgers, meaning even if ground nesting birds successfully breed, their chicks cannot survive.

This project will improve the habitats here by:
-	Improving water control by installing a sluice
-	Improving the saline lagoon by reprofiling the steep sided bank
-	Creating wet features in the grassland to provide muddy edges for wader feeding
-	Creating a clear boundary between the sections of the field by installing a low bund
-	Reducing predation pressure by installing a predator exclusion fence

Small Works Framework

Nexus is intending to let a new Small Works Framework which will be a single supplier framework to support the Nexus Major Projects and Maintenance Delivery teams with the delivery of the capital programme and critical maintenance activities. The works will vary on a project-by-project basis but are generally expected to have significant elements of Civil engineering work such as construction, demolition, and structural repair works. Mechanical and electrical work, clearance of vegetation and maintenance/repair of boundary fences may also be required. Some projects may be of a design and build nature. Exacting requirements for each activity will be communicated by Nexus through call-off contracts. The estimated framework value is £15m (Excluding VAT) across the term of the Framework Agreement. Nexus cannot guarantee this estimated framework value; it is an estimate based on possible future pipeline projects. Call off contracts under the framework will be capped at £150k per call off but may be increased at Nexus's discretion.
