Notice Information

Notice Title

SSSI Tenure Identification and Mapping for 2026 Surveys

Notice Description

In order to arrange a SSSI monitoring survey, Natural England contacts all owners of land within the site boundaries and requests permission to access their land where it falls within the SSSI. We also aim to contact all occupiers of land within the SSSI, where we have their contact details, to inform them of our intention to survey and ask for their cooperation. The first step in this process is identifying the landowner and, where relevant, the occupier (jointly referred to as the landholders) and their associated contact details. This contract will identify the landholders and their associated contact details across three sets of priority SSSIs. The first priority comprises 29 SSSIs, covering 47,262ha of land. The second priority comprises a maximum of 64 SSSIs, covering a maximum of 23,702 ha of land. The third priority comprises 23 SSSIs covering 28,782 ha of land. Please clearly cost for these three lots of work individually as part of the whole project costings. During this process, the contractor will: At all times adhere to Natural England's GDPR policy (as outlined above) and use suitable file protection and secure sharing protocols throughout, as agreed with Natural England. Use all potential sources of information to collate and/or obtain all up-to-date tenure information and landholder contact details for each SSSI (sites to be confirmed by Natural England on award of the contract). Produce Arc-GIS compatible tenure maps and shapefiles of each SSSI, along with an 'Access Contacts for Surveyors' spreadsheet which can be cross referenced with each other.
