From January 2026, the South East Strategic Reservoir Option (SESRO) project name is changing to White Horse Reservoir, with a strapline of 'a space for nature, a place for people.' As our reservoir proposals have evolved, so too has the potential legacy it could have. The proposed reservoir is a critical drought insurance policy for the next century and beyond - but it's also being designed as a place for people to use and enjoy for many years to come. At this exciting stage in development, it's important that we give the project a new identity: one that better reflects the crucial role it will play in shoring up water supply, as well as the broader benefits it will deliver for future generations. It is the same project, with the same vision, but with a new name that will help people recognise it more easily. For us, the name White Horse Reservoir roots this project in local heritage and in the natural world around us. Equally important as the project's new name, the strapline tells us more about where the project's strengths lie; a space for nature, a place for people. To stay up to date and find out more, please visit www.thames-sro.co.uk/whitehorsereservoir Thames Water is leading the development of the new reservoir project, in partnership with Affinity Water and Southern Water. Thames Water is responsible for delivering the development phase, developing the commercial model for the project and for running the procurement processes to appoint the project's Main Works Contractor (MWC) and later, the appointment of an Infrastructure Provider (IP). Thames Water is delivering the project under the Specified Infrastructure Project Regulations, or "SIPR", first established and used for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. Under this approach a new regulated entity, known as an IP will be established to finance and deliver the project, holding a Project Licence granted by Ofwat. Delivery under SIPR is subject to a notice to specify an infrastructure project, which is currently under development between Thames Water and Ofwat. Following the approach taken on the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, Thames Water is separately procuring the Main Works Contract and the IP Contract. This tender notice relates to the procurement of the Main Works Contract only, which comprises the award of a multi-supplier Framework Agreement and a single Call-Off Contract. The Framework Agreement will be a bespoke framework agreement which is described further in the document associated with this tender notice. The Call-Off Contract will be based on the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract June 2017 (with amendments January 2023) using main option C, secondary options including clause X22 (early contractor involvement ("ECI")), and bespoke amendments, which are described further in the documents associated with this tender notice. The Call-Off Contract two-stage ECI approach comprises a design and construction planning stage ("Stage One"); and a detailed design and build stage ("Stage Two"). The two-stage ECI Call-Off Contract includes a key decision point that is based on conditions precedent that must be satisfied before a Notice to Proceed to Stage Two can be issued. The Development Consent Order (DCO) reference design (provided by others) will inform the requirements and constraints within the Call-Off Contract scope (Scope). The MWC will develop the design for construction to comply with the Scope, which will be integrated with the discharge of certain planning requirements "secondary consents" and construction planning for Stage Two. Tenderers will be required to submit a Target Price to deliver the Call-Off Contract requirements included in the tender documents. As part of the Call-Off Contract, the Pricing Information will set out the circumstances where the tendered Target Price can be adjusted during Stage One ("Adjustment Events"), for example, if the Client changes the Scope. Following a Notice to Proceed to Stage Two, the Target Price (established during Stage One) will be subject to amendment in accordance with the compensation events included in the Call-Off Contract. The decision gate to proceed to Stage Two will be dependent on a number of matters, including: 1) appointment of the IP; 2) an accepted design (insofar as it has been developed in Stage One) that meets the requirements of the Call-Off Contract; 3) confirmation of the Target Price in accordance with the Pricing Information; and 4) the granting of the DCO. At the end of Stage One, the Call-Off Contract will be novated to the IP from Thames Water. From the point of novation, the IP will become the MWC's Client and contract counterparty throughout Stage Two, administering the Call-Off Contract and making payments to the MWC accordingly. Subject to the issue of the Notice to Proceed, Stage Two will commence with an initial period to discharge any remaining secondary consenting issues, followed by mobilisation to commence construction. Following construction, a testing and commissioning phase will be required with a target date for the reservoir to be operational from 2040 (although filling the reservoir with water could take several years). Some construction of visitor facilities, as well as landscaping activities will likely continue until 2043. The Call-Off Contract involves the design, build, test and commission of a new reservoir with an operational capacity of 150 million cubic metres (Mm³) and water surface area of circa 6.7km2, situated to the South-West of the town of Abingdon in Oxfordshire, which will support long-term drought resilience across the South East of England. White Horse Reservoir is a proposed fully bunded, non-impounding raw water storage reservoir in the upper catchment of the River Thames. Water will be abstracted from the River Thames during periods when sufficient river water is available and conveyed to the reservoir via a pumping station and circa 4km of tunnels. White Horse Reservoir is being developed in full compliance with the Reservoirs Act 1975. A Construction Engineer and Reservoir Advisory Panel have been appointed to oversee the design and construction, ensuring adherence to safety standards and regulatory requirements throughout the project lifecycle. The Construction Engineer appointment will continue through the entire construction phase, through first filling and the initial years of operation. The Reservoir Advisory Panel will provide regular review of the design and construction activities and draw upon best practice from around the world. The reservoir embankment and associated structures will be designed to national and international standards and guidance documents. To deliver the reservoir, watercourse diversions and replacement floodplain storage are required. A conveyance system will be implemented to transport water to and from the River Thames, and to the interface points with the Thames to Southern Transfer (T2ST) and Farmoor Transfer projects. The reservoir includes passive design provisions for future integration with other strategic water resource and flood alleviation schemes. Other associated infrastructure forms part of the works, including roads, rail sidings, recreational facilities, utilities diversions, renewables and power supplies, and drainage. The scope of the Call-Off Contract will include, but not be limited to: · Design and construction planning. · Mobilisation and enabling works (incl. utility diversions, site clearance and demolition, environmental and archaeological surveys, utility connections, securing the site boundary, habitat creation and species relocation, geotechnical investigations and various other activities). · Creation of a temporary rail siding and materials handling area on the Great Western Main Line, required to facilitate the delivery of certain materials by rail freight and therefore reduce the total volume of material imported and exported by road. · Creation of watercourse diversions, floodplain and drainage, as well as initial works relating to the future restoration of the Wilts and Berks Canal. · Reservoir earthworks, excavation to create the borrow pit and embankments, Replacement Flood Storage, other components of the landscape scheme and road embankments. · Tunnelling and pipelines including the reservoir tunnels and river tunnel. · Road construction (including overbridges). · Concrete works for the operational structures, such as the reservoir towers and pumping station. · River Thames intake/outfall structure, requiring a sheet-piled temporary cofferdam in the River Thames. · Construction of ancillary buildings. · Mechanical and electrical infrastructure and fit-out. · Building construction and fit-out. · Landscaping. · Land and habitat management. Note: The total value (estimated) stated in this Tender Notice is estimated at Q2 2025 prices and therefore excludes any allowance for inflation over the life of the contract from this date.

The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for up to five schools (2 x Secondary and 3 x Primary) of the Oxlip Learning Partnership ( the trust). The Trust comprises two secondary academies (Copleston High School and Stowupland High School) and five primary academies of which 3 (Bacton Primary School, Cedars Park Primary School, Mendlesham Primary School) are potentially in scope for this project. At this present moment, the schools have differing approaches to catering service provision, Copleston High School is outsourced whereas the other four schools potentially in scope for this tender are currently self-delivering. Copleston High School is the key driver for this procurement exercise as it will be out of contract in Summer 2026 and needs to find an in-form, competent and confidant service provider capable of engaging its 1900 + pupils on a daily basis for its new contract term, whereas the self-delivered schools, if they participate will be curious as to a bidder’s experience in taking schools to first time outsourcing and it’s challenges and risks alongside the commercial opportunities that this could realise. The Trust is presenting this exciting opportunity to partner with a supplier who is able to deliver their vision of promoting health and wellbeing through food provision across the five schools. Current sales at Copleston are equivalent of £520k pa. Current Turnover if all five schools become part of scope is expected to be just short of £1m. It is thought that, with focus of resources and investment, there is significant growth potential through driving uptake in all of the self-operated schools. The client would like to see innovative delivery of emerging food trends that are seen on the high street and in retail outlets that pupils and their families frequent and therefore need to be reflected in the school dining rooms. The ITT will capture detailed specifications for each school against which bidders can present confident proposals. Please see PSQ Document for more information.

Service to deliver an individual placement and support employment service for people with severe mental ill health, whether based in secondary mental health teams or primary care in Suffolk.

The supply and delivery of goods to Leicestershire County Council for undertaking highways street lighting and signage improvements and maintenance works.

B&NES Council has embarked on an ambitious project to deliver 2, 4-bed children's homes for children aged between 11 and 18 who have autism and complex needs associated with social, emotional and mental health needs. The homes will be co-located with, but entirely separate from, a new 30-place special school which will be operated by a single/multi-academy trust. It is anticipated that many, if not all, of the children will attend the co-located school. A building for both the homes and the school has been identified in Keynsham, by utilising the closure of the care home Charlton House (post code BS31 1BF) which is under the ownership and management of the LA. The programme to design and build the newly re-furbished, and bespoke, high-quality children's homes is underway. A public consultation was completed before Christmas, and we have commenced the procurement process to appoint contractors. B&NES Council is looking to commission a single provider to operate the two residential children's homes, working as a close, strategic partner to ensure that public money is utilised to provide quality, outcome focused provision. The two homes will each offer accommodation for four children/young people, with sleep-in staff provision, living and support spaces and a house garden. The services are expected to commence 1st September 2027. There is currently no SEND residential provision in B&NES that caters for our most complex and vulnerable children. Consultation with our parents and carers has highlighted the priority of bringing children closer to home and to their families. Many of the children in the residential homes will continue to have close contact and relationships with their families. By providing these homes in the local area, parents/carers can remain fully involved in all aspects of their child's care for example attending all medical appointments, meetings in person etc. Charlton House is also a five-minute walk away from the social care teams based at Keynsham. It is adjacent to a range of local amenities and activities allowing opportunities for socialisation and for engagement with the wider community. All of which will the improve safety and wellbeing of the children and young people and enhance preparation for adulthood. Potential providers must already operate existing Ofsted Registered Residential Children's Homes to demonstrate their knowledge and competence of successfully achieving Ofsted Registration and delivering an Ofsted compliant service, and be able to demonstrate specialist experience, qualification and knowledge regarding the care of children and young people with Autism and complex needs. In addition to the public consultation https://www.bathnes.gov.uk/charlton-house-homes-and-special-school, we have also held a number of market engagement events (presentations available with tender documentation). Note that the published contract value is a maximum value based on the full contract term (including full extension), based on 100% occupancy of both homes and includes an estimation of additional costs to meet individual care needs.

MTC is seeking to appoint a suitably skilled and experienced construction contractor to demolish the existing pavilion in South Park, Macclesfield, and construct a new community pavilion in its place. This project has been in development for many years and has the backing of many residents of the town. South Park is the largest park in Macclesfield. It celebrated its centenary in 2022 after it was gifted to the people of Macclesfield by local Alderman William Frost. It has been a vital green space for residents ever since. The Park is a true asset for our town, and one that we have an opportunity to improve for our residents, our community and to attract visitors from near and far. South Park currently plays host to leisure activities including, play facilities, a skate park, open space for dog walking, tennis, bowls, and a very successful parkrun amongst other outdoor exercise activities. Page 4 of 10 The park has had a pavilion overlooking its band stand for a number of generations, with the current pavilion building replacing the original following a devastating fire in 1970s. This replacement building was most recently used as a base for the now ceased Connexions service. Currently the building acts as storage and shelter for the park maintenance team and on an ad hoc basis by the friends of the park group S:Park, the South Park Community Tennis Club and parkrun. Local residents have campaigned for a pavilion building in South Park for the past 20 years. Several in-depth consultations have been carried out with the community group SPARK (The Friends of South Park Group) and the Town Council as well as a recent round of face to-face consultations held in August 2022. MTC is looking for a suitably experienced building contractor to demolish the existing pavilion and construct a new community pavilion in the park. Macclesfield Town Council are asset transferring the building from the local authority Cheshire East Council and are seeking to demolish the existing pavilion and build a fully accessible and environmentally friendly building, available and open to all the community. A building that meets the needs, expectations and ambitions of the community, the park services as well as encouraging visitors to the park. Through project forming and evaluation, a building that is flexible and sustainable and that can provide for the community well into the future In early 2022, Bower Mattin and Young were hired as architects and were tasked with designing different designs to take to the public for consultation In Aug 2022, we held 4 public consultations, in the park and in the town centre. Over 750 detailed written responses were received. Our residents wish us to proceed with the project and identified two of the five designs that were presented to them. We have merged these two to provide a two-storey building with a number of the design features that were most valued. The proposed scheme is an environmentally sensitive pavilion designed to provide a wide range of flexible spaces suitable for family gatherings, fitness, dance, and regular cultural events. There will be a Changing Places toilet with baby changing for all park users. The ground floor consists of a large café area with chill out spaces housing local art exhibits and magazines. It will lead to a canopied outdoor terrace with seating overlooking the bandstand. There are also two large multi-purpose rooms which can provide a space for people to gather. The first floor overlooks the park and tennis courts. It will provide an event space for exhibitions, music, comedy nights and large family celebrations of up to 100 people. It is intended that the new building will be highly insulated and incorporate a turf/sedum roof to create a high thermal mass which will also assist water attenuation. Passive solar gain combined with a heat recovery and recirculation ventilation system and air source heat pumps will be at the core of the renewable energy proposals.

Passive solar gain combined with a heat recovery and recirculation ventilation system and air source heat pumps will be at the core of the renewable energy proposals.
