Description

Through the Water for Growth Project the Westcountry Rivers Trust will seek to improve stocks of migratory fish such as salmon and seatrout in the rivers Camel and Fowey.

Funded by the European Union Structural Development Fund and in partnership with the Environment Agency, Natural England, South West Water, we will look to improve upstream and downstream fish passage, improve in river and bankside habitat, improve spawning habitats with the aim to increase numbers of juvenile salmon and seatrout.

The project is about improving Cornwall's 'natural capital' (the rivers and their associated plants and animals) and in return encourage and facilitate a responsible and sustainable exploitation of this natural capital in the form of angling.

We are seeking a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the proposed fish passage easement at Allensford Weir, located in Cornwall on the Stannon Stream which is part of the River Camel catchment.

The works comprise the partial lowering of the existing stone block weir, provision of low flow notch and the repurposing of the existing poorly functioning fish pass to form an eel pass.

WRT are under an obligation to ensure compliance with EU principles of transparency, equality and non-discrimination, as such WRT is conducting a formal open tender process in which all bidders will be treated equally, with no discrimination and through a transparent process.
