This initiative involves researching the impact of new developments on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (TBHSPA) due to legal protections established for bird species within the zone. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 15th January 2020. The total contract value is £50,000, and the work is situated in the South East region of England. This tender follows an open procurement method and will commence on 2nd April 2020, concluding by 30th April 2020. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth, particularly for businesses focused on environmental consultancy and research services. Companies specialising in ecological studies, environmental planning, and natural resource management would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, underlining a commitment to inclusivity in this procurement process. ## Notice Rushmoor Borough Council, Hart District Council and Surrey Heath Borough Council have been awarded funding to undertake a joint project related to the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (TBHSPA). On behalf of all three Councils, Rushmoor Borough Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified and experienced consultants to prepare a research study to support this project. The three Councils are part of a wider group of 11 local authorities affected by the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (TBH SPA), a network of heathland sites that provides a habitat for important bird species. It was designated as a Special Protection Area in March 2005 and is protected from adverse effects by law. Natural England has advised the affected local authorities that new housing within 5km of the SPA may result in harm to these bird species. Larger developments located between 5 and 7km of the SPA may also have an impact. As a result, the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Delivery Framework was prepared. This was endorsed by Thames Basin Heaths Joint Strategic Partnership Board (JSPB) in 2009 and is the recommended approach followed by the local authorities affected by the Special Protection Area (SPA) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42932b02-1d2b-45e7-9315-b426ebe29e1e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2020 - 30 Apr 2020 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RUSHMOOR BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | FARNBOROUGH | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU14 7JU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ37 North Hampshire | | Local authority | Rushmoor | | Electoral ward | Empress | | Westminster constituency | Aldershot | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 90712000 - Environmental planning - 90712200 - Forest conservation strategy planning - 90712300 - Marine conservation strategy planning - 90712400 - Natural resources management or conservation strategy planning services - 90712500 - Environmental institution building or planning ## Release History - 17 Dec 2019 at 11:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42932b02-1d2b-45e7-9315-b426ebe29e1e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/42932b02-1d2b-45e7-9315-b426ebe29e1e 17th December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=73e36ecb-bd20-ea11-80fc-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.rushmoor.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
