The Black Country Blue Network project aims to create a high quality ecological network with a diverse range of habitats, centred on the area's historically important waterways and associated green spaces. This will be achieved through a programme of infrastructure and habitat improvements along canals and rivers and other key nature greenspaces linked into this blue network. The improvements will facilitate better visitor management and improved access for local communities. The project is a partnership between the City of Wolverhampton Council, Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, the Environment Agency, Canal and River Trust and Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust. Each delivery partner is delivering sub-projects which together make up the Black Country Blue Network. The project began in January 2017 and will end March 2019. The project is part-funded by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and it is a requirement of the grant to undertake a summative assessment that will be submitted 3 months before the end of the programme. ## CPV classification Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c4c53fc9-12f4-4b18-b1e6-b3c3aa86f404) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
