Summary of the contracting process

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is expanding its procurement activities with the "Functionally Linked Land Project", focused on defining essential ecological habitats outside protected sites critical for bird populations. This procurement is classified under marine research services and environmental services, with a total value of £25,004. The tender period concluded on 9 December 2016, and the contract commenced on 3 January 2017, running until 31 March 2017. The project is located within the United Kingdom and follows an open procurement method, allowing a wide participation base.

This opportunity is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in environmental services and research consultancy. In light of the increasing consultations concerning functional land use and its ecological impacts, businesses focused on environmental management, ecological research, and conservation strategies may find substantial avenues for growth and partnership through this tender. Engaging in this project can help suppliers contribute to sustainable practices while broadening their portfolio in governmental contracts.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Functionally Linked Land Project

Notice Description

Functionally linked land describes undesignated areas lying beyond the boundary of a protected site that is nevertheless used by classified bird populations. Where an essential ecological function, such as foraging, occurs beyond a site boundary, this area is termed functionally linked land, or is known as functional habitat. As the presence of this land is essential in meeting a species' needs, damage or deterioration of this habitat could in turn impact upon the classified population. The presence of functional habitat is frequently associated with bird species that use farmland because, with a few exceptions, farmland has not tended to be incorporated within protected site boundaries. Wildfowl, in particular, make significant use of functional farmland habitat (in some cases foraging almost exclusively beyond the site boundary) and, owing to their large foraging distances, can be found well inland of the Special Protection Areas (SPAs) which were, in part, classified for their non-breeding populations. Natural England has recently seen an increase in planning consultations (e.g. for solar energy schemes) with the potential to affect areas of functionally linked land used by SPA/Ramsar waterbirds. We also have to consider in-combination and cumulative effects, and it is therefore not possible to dismiss impact for projects on account of their comparative scale when considered alone. For example, potentially 1,000s of ha of functionally linked land around one SPA could be impacted in total when solar energy schemes and other projects are considered together.
