1.1.This document is an invitation to quote for the Provision of a Groundwater Visualisation Service. This work is part of the CatchmentCARE Project. The CatchmentCARE Project is being funded through the European Union's INTERREG VA Programme, which is managed by the Special EU Programme's Body. Match-funding has been provided by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs Northern Ireland and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government in Ireland providing a total budget of €13.8 million.

1.2.The aim of CatchmentCARE is to establish 3 water quality improvement projects in the Finn, Blackwater and Arney Catchments and install 50 boreholes across the region. This will be achieved through policy actions, catchment actions and community actions which were selected based on three critical criteria; measurable impact on water quality; transferable beyond the three catchments; and contribute to a project legacy. The actions selected will address water quality issues related to hydromorphology, point and diffuse sources of pollution, farm nutrient management practices, characterisation and monitoring of groundwater quality, lag times in response to the implementation of measures and an economic analysis of the cost of achieving the objectives of the Water Framework Directive in the three catchments. British Geological Survey (BGS), Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI) and Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) will be responsible for the installation and monitoring of groundwater monitoring points in the three catchments


The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
