AFBI - Provision of Field Surveyors
Notice Description
DAERA (Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) have commissioned a repeat of the NI Countryside Survey. Standard protocols will be followed, in line with the GB Countryside Survey, across a sample set of quarter kilometre (25ha) grid squares located throughout NI. The Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) in GB are leading the study, partnered by AFBI and QUB. The NI Countryside Survey provides a consistent long-term dataset for analysis of the effects of countryside, agricultural and other policies and pressures as drivers of change. The survey will be a repeat of the previous survey, commissioned in 2007, and will include a large soils component. AFBI wishes to establish a framework to engage a number of surveyors to complete vegetation and accompanying soil sampling for the DAERA NI Countryside Survey field surveys in 2023. Companies / consultants can provide more than one surveyor, or sole traders can apply independently. Please note that all proposed surveyors will be assessed independently.

If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Notice of Unsatisfactory Performance and their place. on the contract may be terminated.. .
