Notice Description

H4 Terrestrial Monitoring Core Contract 2023-25

Lot Information

Lot 1

The desired outcome of this contract is to contribute to the development of the H4 indicator on 'Exposure and adverse effects of chemicals on wildlife in the environment'.

H4 is one of a suite of indicators in the 25-Year Environment Plan (25-YEP) Outcome Indicator Framework. The indicator contributes to measuring whether we are moving towards the goal of 'managing exposure to chemicals' within the 25-YEP. Available updates to indicators under the framework are reported annually on gov.uk alongside reports outlining environmental improvements made through the 25-YEP. The H4 indicator is currently an interim version based on chemical concentrations found in water and in different organisms including apex predator mammals and birds. Birds included in the published 2021 supporting report for the interim H4 indicator are red kites and buzzards.

Procurement Information

UKCEH host the 'predatory birds monitoring scheme' (PBMS) which is the UK's only sample and data archive for predatory birds and therefore an essential resource for carrying out this analysis.
