NCEA_EES Access Permissions 2027/28 surveys
Notice Description
Natural England is delivering several projects for the NCEA, the largest and most complex of which is the England Ecosystem Survey (EES). The aim of the EES is to get a true understanding of the condition of England's terrestrial environment, and to do this we need to identify landowners and land users, and secure land access permission to carry out surveys on their land. This Contract is for a supplier to come in and obtain the above noted access permission. The surveys, which will be conducted under a separate contracting method to this contract, will collect data relating to habitats, vegetation, peat and landscape as well as soil and water biota eDNA and support Natural England's earth observation programme. TO NOTE: The contract was awarded on 7 May 2026 and signed on 15 May 2026 with a start date of 1 June 2026.
