Water Roadmap Delivery Partner - South East Rivers Trust

Description

We would like to provide South East Rivers Trust a 12 month direct award contract to continue as WRAP’s delivery partner for the Water Roadmap collective action project in South East England. This is a strategically important food sourcing area for the UK supply chain, specifically for fresh soft, top and stone fruit. The catchments in this area are under significant water pressure with the area facing water shortages and drought regularly. Consequently, the catchments are a high priority for WRAP and our stakeholders to improve water stewardship under the Water Roadmap. Improving water stewardship is a long-term endeavour recognised by WRAP and our business funders who make a 3-year financial commitment to each of the collective action projects. The stability this provides enables WRAP’s delivery partners to build relationships, develop and implement solutions and maintain the expertise required to tackle significant challenges requiring the collaboration of hundreds, if not thousands of stakeholders. ## Contract award
