Procurement and Contract Opportunities
Ribble Rivers Trust delivers a wide range of activities that require external assistance, from civil engineering for the construction of fish passes, to publicity and promotion activities for awareness raising campaigns. In procuring our external works we endeavour to achieve best value in all its procurement activity. To measure best value we consider quality, reliability, fitness for purpose, reputation, after sales support, and ethical considerations, as well as price.
As part of this we have a Quantitative, Qualitative and Statutory Framework that we employ. So, from time to time we have contract opportunities to advertise which will be listed below. For other contact opportunities we recommend visiting Contracts Finder.
Downham Mill Fish Easement
This project is part of a Species Survival Fund project (Room for Rivers), funded by Defra. Downham Mill Weir is located in Downham in Ings Beck valley. The land is predominantly used for grazing sheep by the landowner and tenant, the watercourse, Ings Beck, runs through the valley and converges with the Swanside Beck watercourse. A steep weir was identified in Ings Beck which diverts water to the mill and acts as a partial barrier to fish migration. The works are planned to install rock ramp and create a new channel on the left-hand bank, as well as repair the surface of the weir that has washed away over time.
