New to public tenders? Plain-English guide to this page
- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
This is a training course covering the environmental impacts of groundwater abstraction, structured modularly to accommodate a section on foundational concepts, accompanied by an advanced technical section including relevant case studies and problems. The training should provide delegates with both a broad understanding of groundwater abstraction and the knowledge required to assess abstraction-related risks within regulatory and environmental management contexts. This includes responding to Groundwater Investigation Consents (GICs), abstraction licence applications, planning consultations, environmental improvement programmes and issues relating to sustainable abstraction. It will be taught in the context of effective decision-making, enabling new starters and existing staff to critically evaluate GIC applications and apply their knowledge to other regulatory decision making.
