Opportunity overview
Anglian Water are looking to procure the development of two Catchment Investment Plans (CIPs) - one for North Norfolk and one for North West Norfolk. The geographical scope for the work is defined by the Water Framework Directive operational catchment boundaries of the North Norfolk Rivers and North West Norfolk Catchments. Anglian Water require two individual outputs, however, anticipate a significant overlap in methodology and approach so require a single price for the work. The purpose of the CIPs is to attract investment-scale public and private funding and deliver environmental restoration at a landscape scale across the North Norfolk Rivers & North West Norfolk catchments. Stage 1 Anglian Water require the CIPs to be built on the proven approaches and methodologies applied within existing Landscape Recovery projects. Both CIPs must include as a minimum: Valuation of existing ecosystem services and potential ecosystem services generated through proposed interventions. Development of blended finance models which consider sources of revenue and investment in both catchments and the feasibility of managing multiple revenue streams within the regulatory constraints. Detailed market analysis to identify key regional and local opportunities across existing and future nature markets. Identification of key local and regional demand-side buyers who could co-invest in delivery and outcomes. CIPs must maintain a catchment-scale focus and prioritise investability and viability of execution. Delivery of the Catchment Investment Plans must ensure alignment and, where feasible, integration with existing environmental initiatives and local strategies relevant to the Norfolk Rivers and North West Norfolk catchments. This must include, but not be limited to: any pre-existing catchment plans, Norfolk Local Nature Recovery Strategy, Norfolk Water Strategy Programme and associated business case, Natural Capital East. Whilst the CIPs should not be solely water industry centric; Anglian Water expect to see priority interventions identified with realistic co-investible outcomes and structures that deliver on areas of priority for Anglian Water, such as, but not exclusively, nutrient pollution reduction and mitigation of low flow impacts to rivers. The CIPs must consider a range of revenue sources, including but not limited to: institutional investors, key local demand-side buyers, philanthropic or social impact investors. The work will be delivering one element of Anglian Water's obligation as part of their Advanced WINEP programme. This programme is new and is aiming to enable greater opportunities for delivering enhanced environmental outcomes through partnerships and co-investment.
