Award of Reservoir Site Assessments

About

All reservoirs in Scotland capable of holding more than 25,000m3 of water above the natural level of the surrounding land require to be registered with SEPA under the Reservoirs (Scotland) Act 2011 where they meet the definition of a controlled reservoir.

There are currently around 700 registered controlled reservoirs, and SEPA has identified around 457 further potential unregistered reservoirs that require assessment to determine whether they are likely to qualify as registrable controlled reservoirs.The requirement is for the provision of reservoir site assessments to support SEPA in determining whether each potential reservoir is likely to meet the definition of a registrable controlled reservoir.

The detailed technical requirements, deliverables, constraints, programme requirements and information to be provided by SEPA are set out in the NEC4 PSSC Scope and associated Contract Data issued as part of this mini competition.
