Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Scottish Government seeking services for the "Production of Cumulative Effects Framework for Key Ecological Receptors." This initiative falls under the general public services category and is based in Scotland. The tender is currently at the Award stage, having been signed on 22 July 2020, with its total contract value amounting to £374,989.90. This project aimed to establish a cumulative effects framework that collates the anticipated impacts of ongoing and forthcoming projects, ensuring that the assessments are reliable and comprehensive.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in ecological assessment, environmental consultancy, and project management. Companies capable of providing a detailed understanding of environmental impacts and those with a track record in handling similar projects would be notably well-suited to compete. Smaller firms with expertise in environmental science and ecology are also encouraged to participate due to the open procurement method employed by the Scottish Government, which allows for broad competition.

Notice Title

Production of Cumulative Effects Framework for Key Ecological Receptors

Notice Description

The aim of the CEF is to provide a baseline of current effects on to which are added the effects estimated any by a new project or projects to produce a cumulative effects total. The baseline will be updated as new projects are brought into the planning system. The project purpose is not to replace individual project-level assessment estimates of their potential effects. Crucially, the CEF tool developed must be capable of delivering estimated project level and cumulative effects, rather than simply the principles for doing so, and be able to demonstrate this functionality within the project timescales.
