This tender presents opportunities for businesses within the ecological and environmental consulting sectors, particularly those specialising in surveying and mapping services. However, it may not necessarily cater to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to specific suitability requirements.
