## Summary

Natural England has initiated a procurement process for the contract titled "Digital Aerial Surveys - Non-Breeding Marine Waterbird - Greater Wash SPA," focusing on the collection of survey data for marine waterbirds during the winter of 2021-22. The procurement falls under the environmental services category with a budget of £156,744. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 22 November 2021. Contracts are set to commence on 12 January 2022 and run until 31 March 2022, with locations primarily in the Greater Wash area of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in environmental service delivery. Businesses specialising in digital imagery, environmental monitoring, or data collection methodologies will find this contract particularly relevant. Given the focus on surveying bird populations in relation to offshore windfarm developments, companies with expertise in ecological assessments and aerial surveying techniques stand to benefit from this procurement process.

## Notice

Natural England is seeking to collect survey data this coming winter (2021-22), using the most up to date digital aerial imagery (video or still), to provide for the first time a comprehensive digital dataset on abundance and distribution of birds within the Greater Wash SPA since the construction of the offshore windfarms. Red-throated diver and common scoter are the species of principal interest.
