UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

JNCC Support Co is commissioning environmental services to review and compare imagery reference collections for epifaunal species identified during surveys in the Eastern Channel. The aim is to create one consolidated reference collection containing representative images of the identified species. The work is associated with environmental survey and marine biodiversity information, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is JNCC Support Co, a central government public authority. The requirement is a single service package rather than a multi-lot programme. It will suit organisations able to assess scientific imagery and produce a reliable, usable reference collection for species identification. The procurement is classified under environmental services (CPV 90700000).

The process has reached tender: JNCC Support Co invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 4 September 2026 at 14:00, and bids were due by 11 September 2026 at 14:00. The contract period is 25 September 2026 to 15 January 2027. The estimated value is £29,166.67 excluding VAT, or £35,000 including VAT. Bids are assessed on quality of bid (60%), contractor details (20%) and price (20%). The tender documents include a revised ITT package, ITT C26-1042-2348_V2, and a bidders’ clarification log. Electronic submission is not allowed; bidders must follow the submission arrangements in the ITT documents and send their response by email to TenderResponse@jncc.gov.uk.

This opportunity suits environmental consultancies, marine science organisations, biodiversity specialists and smaller research-led suppliers with experience in species identification and scientific imagery. Strong candidates will be able to review survey imagery collections, compare images against identified epifaunal species, judge whether images are representative, and curate the results into a coherent reference collection. The evaluation gives most weight to the technical quality of the proposed approach, so bidders should demonstrate a clear methodology, reliable quality assurance and an understanding of the Eastern Channel survey context. Contractor details also form part of the assessment, making relevant staff expertise, previous comparable work and the organisation’s ability to deliver the review important. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
