Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, a central government public authority located in London, facilitated a procurement process to conduct the "Common Standards Monitoring Surveys of invertebrate sand dune assemblages" within the Humber Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The procurement involved an open competition focusing on environmental services, and the contract, valued at £19,062 gross, was awarded to Andy Godfrey Associates, an SME based in Barnsley. The procurement reached the award and contract stage, with the contract commencing on 5th May 2025 and concluding on 20th March 2026. The surveys are to be conducted across sites including the Spurn Peninsula and various locations in Lincolnshire, with a comprehensive assessment expected by August 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in environmental services, to contribute to governmental conservation efforts. Companies with expertise in ecological assessments and possessing capabilities in varied survey techniques, including ground searching and pitfall trapping, would be well-suited for this role. The project not only supports business growth by enhancing portfolios with government contracts but also plays a vital role in environmental preservation. Engaging in such projects can lead to long-term relationships with public authorities and open doors to future government contracts, laying a foundation for expanding expertise in specialised environmental monitoring and consultancy.
