## Description
AWS is facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, population growth and environmental constraints. These challenges include more frequent droughts, increased demand for water, and the need to reduce water abstraction from environmentally sensitive areas.
To address these challenges, the Water Resources East regional planning and the Water Resource Management Planning of Anglian Water and Cambridge Water have selected the Fens Reservoirs (FR) and Lincolnshire reservoir (LR) schemes as low-regret Strategic Resource Options (SRO) to improve water security and meet societal and environmental outcomes.
The reservoirs will provide safe, resilient supplies of drinking water, as well as environmental, socioeconomic, leisure, and wellbeing benefits for the communities they serve. FR and LR will be delivered to the benefit of both AWS and Cambridge Water (CWC) customers.
The FR and LR and associated assets (abstraction, treatment and transfers) are being progressed through the fast-tracked delivery framework overseen by the Regulators' Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development (RAPID), and each is proposed to be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) seeking consent through the Development Consent Order (DCO) regime.
Due to the size and complexity of the programme, Specified Infrastructure Project Regulations (SIPR) is the preferred delivery model for the reservoirs. SIPR was introduced by the UK Government in 2013 as a mechanism for an alternative approach to financing and delivering large and complex water and sewerage infrastructure projects.
Under SIPR, the Secretary of State (SoS) or Ofwat (under delegation from the SoS) may specify an infrastructure project for delivery under a "project licence" by a third party where certain conditions are met. Early Works are the preparatory activities; site investigation works and construction tasks to be completed prior to Development Consent Order (DCO) determination and commencement of Enabling Works and Main Construction Works.
The works will comprise preparatory statutory, technical, and construction activities required to support the obtaining of the necessary consents prior to DCO determination. 
Anglian Water are considering the following activities as part of the EWP Framework scope where the EWP will act as the Principal Contractor (PC), where it is reasonably practicable. 
Principal Contractor Services – Overall site coordination, health and safety management, logistics and contractor management. Duty under CDM.
Site Management & Logistics – Site operations, welfare, security, access management and logistics controls.
Site Establishment & Compounds – Establishment and operation of site compounds, welfare facilities and supporting infrastructure.
Constructability & Design Coordination – Construction planning, buildability reviews and coordination with design development activities.
Environmental Mitigation – Delivery of environmental mitigation measures required to s...
