## About this tender

Thetford Town Council (TTC) is looking for a tendered price to formalise the natural breach in the true left bank of the River Thet at Ford Meadow local to Nun's Bridge, Thetford.

The natural breach has created a by-pass channel that can function to improve fish passage and transfer between the River Little Ouse and downstream River Thet to upstream River Thet. The proposal is to create a barrage across the breach and install a notch to allow flow from the Thet into the channel.

Plans have been designed by Fishtek and specified by the Environment Agency. The tender price must cost the plans as designed by Fishtek.

The tender submission must also cost a variation with no notch installed (complete barrier).
