Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, a public authority under central government, has completed the procurement process for the "England Green Infrastructure Mapping Database. England Urban Habitat Maps - Technical Amendments and Revisions" project. The project falls under the services category, specifically classified under research services. The procurement process adopted an open method involving a below-threshold open competition. The project commenced in late July 2025 and is scheduled for completion by the end of February 2026. The geographic focus is within the United Kingdom, with central operations based in London. The contract was awarded to 2 EXCEL AVIATION LIMITED, with a gross contract value of £54,048 and a net amount of £45,040, payable in GBP. The contract for this tender was signed on the 28th of July, 2025, and runs through until the 27th of February, 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the research and data analysis sector, particularly those experienced with urban habitat mapping and geographic information systems. Companies with expertise in technical amendments and revisions using software environments such as Trimble eCognition could greatly benefit from providing such services, gaining experience and enhancing their portfolio in government-level projects. Large-scale enterprises like 2 EXCEL AVIATION LIMITED have been successful, suggesting that organisations with significant capacity and resources are well-suited to meet the requirements outlined in the Request for Quotation.

Notice Title

England Green Infrastructure Mapping Database. England Urban Habitat Maps - Technical Amendments and Revisions.

Notice Description

Urban Habitat Mapping has developed as part of the England Green Infrastructure Mapping Database over the last 4 years. A set of pilot and trialling exercises has produced data across a range of urban areas in England. As the project has developed, data has been produced using a series of adapted methods. This project will produce a "final" method by integrating some adjustments into a final approach for use in the Trimble eCognition software environment. The final method will then be used to adjust (and where necessary reprocess) the data for all areas that are currently covered by the Urban Habitat Mapping. Shapefiles of the Areas of interest are available on request. These files provide the outline of the actual area to be mapped and give area size. The project is anticipated to begin in late July 2025 and be completed by the end of February 2026.
