Notice Title

Vegetation monitoring power analysis

Notice Description

Pewsey Downs NNR is one of the finest remaining areas of Wiltshire's iconic chalk downland habitat. For the protection of both designated habitat and species, it is vital to monitor site condition and identify whether significant changes in habitat condition are occurring. We are therefore seeking a power analysis to determine the variables for which it would be possible to identify such change, and the minimum resurvey effort needed to achieve this. 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 stevie.upton@naturalengland.org.uk by 16:00 on 30/08/2024. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to stevie.upton@naturalengland.org.uk. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
