Natural England has issued an open tender for 'Dipwell Loggers' aimed at sourcing data loggers capable of measuring temperature and water levels in dipwells across various semi-natural, water-dependent habitats. This procurement opportunity, categorised under surveying and hydrological instruments, specifically targets goods and carries a gross value of £59,999. Interested parties should note that this tender falls below the threshold for open competition, with submissions due by 12 midday on 2nd March 2026 to kate.fagan@naturalengland.org.uk. The entire procurement cycle, governed by UKPGA 2023/54, involves a contract period that spans from 4th March to 27th March 2026, providing an expedited timeline for delivery and execution.
