Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is inviting tenders for a project titled "Survey of Raised Bogs and associated wetland vegetation in Northumberland (Lot 2)," classified under Research services (CPV: 73110000) and Environmental services (CPV: 90700000). This opportunity involves surveying raised bogs and other wetland habitats across ten sites in the Sweethope area, with a potential extension to seven additional sites in Gilsland/Haltwhistle. The tender process is currently active and in the "tenderAmendment" stage, with key deadlines including a submission date of 6th September 2024 and anticipated contract commencement on 9th September 2024, concluding on 15th March 2025. The project falls under an open procedure procurement method, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and is to be executed in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in environmental and ecological research services. Expertise in studying and managing wetland and raised bog ecosystems will be critical. Ideal bidders include SMEs and VCSEs with experience in environmental surveys and a background in ecological fieldwork and report writing. Participation could enhance a company's portfolio, create long-term engagement opportunities with Natural England, and highlight environmental stewardship capabilities. Interested suppliers must submit separate bids for Lot 1 and Lot 2, addressing all requirements in the Request for Quotation (RFQ), and ensure to send their responses by the specified deadline to Iain Diack via email.

Notice Title

Survey of Raised Bogs and associated wetland vegetation in Northumberland (Lot 2)

Notice Description

PLEASE NOTE: The closing date for this notice has been extended to 06/09/2024. Following recent review and update of the Raised Bog inventory for England, it has become apparent that Northumberland supports a large number of raised bogs sites which have received little or no previous attention or recognition. Not only are there many sites, they are also relatively undamaged relative to similar sites elsewhere in the country. In addition to raised bogs, some sites also support minerotrophic wetlands including calcareous fens, acidic fens and Molinia meadow vegetation, significantly increasing their national importance. Fieldwork should be started as soon as possible, and final reports should be submitted by 15 March 2025. This requirement is split into two lots. The requirement for Lot 1 is to establish the extent and quality of raised bogs and other wetland habitats on a cluster of thirteen sites north of Bellingham. The requirement for Lot 2 is to establish the extent and quality of raised bogs and other wetland habitats on a cluster of 10 sites in Sweethope, with the option to commission an additional cluster of 7 sites in the Gilsland/Haltwhistle area. Supplier may bid for either or both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Suppliers must bid for each Lot separately and each Lot will be evaluated independently. 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 iain.diack@naturalengland.org.uk by 17:00 hrs on 06/09/2024. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to iain.diack@naturalengland.org.uk. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
