Summary of the contracting process

JNCC Support Co commissioned an environmental services project to review and compare imagery reference collections of epifaunal species identified from surveys, then develop one consolidated collection containing representative images of the identified species. The work concerns the Eastern Channel and is intended to provide a consistent visual reference collection. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist marine survey and image-reference task, rather than general environmental consultancy or field surveying alone; the core output is the assessment and consolidation of existing species imagery.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Seastar Survey Limited. It was run as a below-threshold open competition in one lot. The award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 22 January 2027. Its value is £27,900 excluding VAT (£33,480 including VAT). The tender’s estimated value was £29,166.67 excluding VAT (£35,000 including VAT). Evaluation weighted quality of bid at 60%, contractor details at 20%, and price at 20%. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. The tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026; the clarification-question deadline was 4 September 2026.

For suppliers preparing to compete for a future Eastern Channel reference-collection review, the award indicates demand for the ability to assess and compare imagery of epifaunal species identified in survey work, and to produce a single, representative image collection. Credibility will depend on demonstrating the quality and method of the proposed review, relevant contractor experience and capability, and a clear, competitive price: quality accounted for most of the evaluation, with the contractor’s details also assessed. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of specialist environmental services can be delivered by an SME. Businesses with relevant marine survey imagery, species identification and image-curation expertise are best aligned with the requirement.
