This tender falls under the natural resources management or conservation strategy planning services category and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the contract is expected to commence on 17 January 2022 and conclude by 31 December 2022. The budget allocated for this study is £50,000, with a minimum bid value of £30,000. Interested parties should note that the deadline to express interest and obtain the tender pack is 9 December 2021. This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and conservation management. Companies with capabilities in strategic planning and ecological research will find this tender particularly suitable. As the project aims to balance natural conservation with economic development, organisations that can demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between environmental sustainability and local economic growth will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Wash and North Norfolk coast are under increasing pressure from new housing developments and a growing tourism industry. These need to be carefully monitored and managed, to ensure that conservation features within The Wash and North Norfolk Coast Marine Protected Area (MPA) network and Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) are not negatively impacted. To this end, The Wash & North Norfolk Marine Partnership (WNNMP), Norfolk Coast Partnership (NCP) and PROWAD LINK* project wish to conduct a collaborative Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) study around The Wash and North Norfolk coast. This will yield data on acceptable levels of visitor presence at local nature sites/attractions and enable the development of sector-specific, strategic and innovative recommendations that can be used to guide future planning/decision-making. *PROWAD-LINK is an Interreg North Sea Region project funded by the European Regional Development Fund with local funding from Norfolk County Council. Notably, funding will not be affected by Brexit. Further information on the project can be found here. 'Protect and Prosper' forms the foundation for this project; the natural environment around The Wash and North Norfolk coast needs to be protected, whilst enabling local people and businesses to proper through economic opportunities. By considering the Nature Business Benefit Cycle (NBBC), this project will support both people and place, allowing them to exist together, in harmony. If you are interested in applying and receiving a tender pack please contact the named person in the contact details no later than 09/12/2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f286ef1f-0158-457c-b961-76108147ba43 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Dec 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jan 2022 - 31 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR1 2DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Lakenham | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90712400 - Natural resources management or conservation strategy planning services ## Release History - 22 Nov 2021 at 15:20 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f286ef1f-0158-457c-b961-76108147ba43 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f286ef1f-0158-457c-b961-76108147ba43 22nd November 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://northsearegion.eu/prowad-link/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
