The contract, awarded under an open competition that is below the threshold, involves targeted ornithological fieldwork at specific locations including Humberstone Fitties, Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, and Pyewipe, relevant for their avian importance. The buying organisation is based in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, with the procurement falling under the environmental services industry category. The contract was signed on 14th November 2025, with its term extending until 13th November 2026, and has been awarded to Footprint Ecology Ltd, reflecting its status as complete and active.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, analysis, and monitoring. SMEs like Footprint Ecology Ltd, which was awarded this contract, benefit from such public tenders by showcasing expertise in environmental monitoring and protection.

Notice Title

Cleethorpes DUNE Project - Winter Bird Disturbance Survey

Notice Description

We are procuring a winter bird disturbance survey, which its aim is to supplement visitor and desk-based work with detailed ornithological fieldwork. In some parts of the Humber Estuary we know birds are often well away from any sources of disturbance and access levels in some locations are very low. Rather than attempt to cover the entire estuary, resources should be targeted to three particular survey point locations selected for their importance for birds and where it was recognised there could be access issues, i.e. areas where access and birds overlap. * Humberstone Fitties * Cleethorpes Leisure Centre * Pyewipe
