The project comprises three work packages: a Rapid Evidence Assessment of the fate, transport and risks of microbial pollutants in the subsurface environment; development of guidance for undertaking qualitative groundwater risk assessments for microbial pollutants; and recommendations on the feasibility of quantitative or semi-quantitative assessment approaches. The contract is expected to start on 12 October 2026 and conclude by 31 March 2027, can be delivered remotely, and will require virtual progress meetings with the Environment Agency project team. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in hydrogeology, groundwater risk assessment, environmental permitting and/or microbial pollutant assessment.
