Description

Dotton Gauging Station on the River Otter is an important Environment Agency Asset for water resource and flood warning functions. Over recent years the river upstream of the gauging section has migrated East and is starting to outflank the straightened section on the lead in to the gauging station. The Devon County Council foot bridge has already been closed due to erosion.

A Geomorphological Study and high level options appraisal has been carried out by the River Restoration Centre. This report will be made available to contractor. The outline solution has been decided of @working with natural processes', a managed retreat, with a hard line of defence built into the bank set back from the current bank. The existing bank is to be planted will suitable trees and other natural process measures implemented to redirect and slow the erosion. Details are in RRC report.

We require the contractor to carry out optioneering/concept design phase. Some of this work can be subcontracted out to the River Restoration Centre

Marine Pollution Response and Resilience in the Maldives; Hazardous and Noxious Substance (HNS) Management Training (FCDO)

This contract is focused on the delivery of accredited Hazardous and Noxious Substance (HNS) training. The training course needs to be run twice, both times in central command (Male, the Maldives) The project is linked under the Indian Ocean Directorate of the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO). Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) are an emerging threat to the environment and coastal communities of the Maldives; with the expansion of shipping routes and more extreme weather events, risks exist which can cause significant impacts and damage to the environment and the livelihoods of the coastal communities who rely on it. Maldives are particularly at risk of such impacts due to their disparate geography, limited response resources and reliance on their marine environment for income such as tourism and food security. We are looking to initiate procurement and delivery of targeted HNS training in early 2026 for key Maldivian stakeholders including coastguard and environment authorities. This training should build on and be made bespoke to the wider HNS and oil National Contingency Plan by linking to the new policy documents and using the training as an opportunity to test and where possible improve them. This initiative will strengthen national preparedness and technical capacity to respond effectively to HNS incidents, reducing the risk of long-term environmental degradation and safeguarding coastal livelihoods. By embedding practical skills within the framework of the updated National Contingency Plan, the training will ensure that policy commitments translate into operational readiness.
