The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and its associated public sector bodies are seeking proposals for the Nature for Climate Fund Monitoring and Evaluation Scientific Indicators project. This procurement falls under the services category and focuses on developing indicators related to biodiversity, water quality, carbon sequestration, and air quality. A market engagement event was held on Tuesday 10th January 2023 in York to facilitate discussions and provide feedback on the opportunity. The tender aims to attract organisations with scientific expertise experienced in indicator development.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in environmental indicators analysis. Companies with a background in scientific research and indicator development are well-suited to compete for this tender. The project presents prospects for organisations capable of providing innovative solutions in areas such as biodiversity measurement, water quality improvement, carbon sequestration models, and air quality analysis. Procurement stages include planning and tender, with key dates and deadlines communicated throughout the process. The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs aims to engage single organisations or consortiums to deliver on multiple indicator-focused lots within the programme evaluation framework.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Nature for Climate Fund Monitoring and Evaluation Scientific Indicators

Notice Description

We invite single organisations or a consortium of organisations to provide proposals across several lots to develop indicators for the Programme evaluation. In broad terms, our requirement is focussed on organisations with scientific expertise and experience of indicator development. Several key outcomes were highlighted as areas for indicator development in May 2022, these include: Biodiversity Water quality Carbon sequestration Air quality

Lot Information

Biodiversity

the requirement is to measure biodiversity in existing and new woodland and provide a projection of how it may change over time based on the interventions of planting and protecting trees in and outside of woodland.

Water quality

improving water quality is a key objective and area of interest. Indicators measuring water quality are absent and it will be beneficial to understand the number of hectares planted by NCF in areas of England with lowest water quality and the change in water quality as a result.

Carbon sequestration

it will be important to measure carbon sequestration e.g. a model) versus more complex site-specific sequestration measurement (across different areas, soil types, rock types, tree age, and tree types).

Air quality

the requirement is to model the level of pollutant removal which NCF planting will deliver for six priority air pollutants: PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NH3, NO2, O3. The actual pollutant removal NCF trees programme will achieve is location and species dependent and cannot be currently accurately quantified. The existing indicator is crudely modelled.
