## Summary

The procurement process led by the Environment Agency, headquartered at Seacole Building, 2 Marsham Street, London, involved a field survey study focused on environmental services under the CPV classification 'Environmental services' (CPV: 90700000). The study aimed to evaluate the presence of various crayfish species at 91 sites across locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Europe, and beyond. The selected procurement method was a selective approach through a call-off from a framework agreement, signified by the tender ID CF-0546600D8d000003VQwdEAG. The process reached the award stage, with final contracts starting on 29th September 2025 and concluding by 31st March 2026. The total contract value was set at £73,740, with the award published on 3rd October 2025, following the tender period which ended on 23rd September 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in biodiversity assessment and species conservation. Given the requirement to conduct extensive surveys across diverse geographical regions, companies with capabilities in field research and environmental consultancy are well-suited to compete. The procurement actively encourages the participation of small and medium enterprises, underlining the potential for SMEs to leverage their agility and specialized knowledge in securing such niche contracts. Engaging in this project not only facilitates business growth but also contributes to the conservation efforts of the White-clawed crayfish, thereby aligning commercial activities with ecological sustainability initiatives.
