Notice Title

Broads Hydrological Installations

Notice Description

PLEASE NOTE: the closing date for this notice has been extended to 14/12/23. Norfolk and Suffolk are among the most water stressed areas of the country and have a high proportion of the country's water dependent priority habitats such as Alkaline Fens. Within this area, the Broads SAC/ SPA/ Ramsar is a the largest and most connected suite of sites. Since 2016, NE has worked with partners to deploy linked hydrological and vegetation monitoring transects to understand these relationships better and look at spatial and temporal change. This contract is aimed at extending that network by the redeployment of 'spare' loggers at new, strategic locations. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached. Your response must be sent to adrian.gardiner@naturalengland.org.uk by 5pm on 14/12/2023. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to adrian.gardiner@naturalengland.org.uk. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
