tNCEA - Unexploded Ordnance Detailed Desk Studies for England Ecosystem Survey
Notice Description
The overall aim of the contract is to carry out detailed UXO desk studies and risk assessments on selected sites. Two contracts will be awarded each with a requirement to deliver 65 detailed desk studies and risk assessments. Bidders should demonstrate their ability to meet these timelines by outlining a clear plan for resource allocation and efficient management to ensure the successful and timely completion of all studies. The detailed UXO desk studies and risk assessments are for ESS monads (a 1km by 1km square).
Lot Information
Lot 1
Options: A 6-month extension is needed as previous survey seasons have indicated, that the dropout rate for landowner permissions often leads to an increased need for additional demand of UXO detailed desk studies. The survey season runs from September to March, and the extension will cover most of this period, ensuring there are no delays in the delivery of the surveys.
Renewal: 3mths + 6mths
