Companies with expertise in survey design, environmental auditing, and monitoring would be well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can provide the necessary services to assess and manage local beaver populations effectively. ## Notice To contract out the surveying of wild-living beaver populations to confirm the presence and absence on a number of river catchments where there are increasing sightings and reports of beavers. The survey data will be presented in a report and analysed to determine the abundance of beavers and provide an estimate of the number of beaver territories. Natural England recommended that an assessment is made of the existing populations and how best to manage them to maximise benefit and minimise conflict (Pouget & Gill, 2020). An assessment of the distribution of beavers and the abundance of these populations are of great importance to understand the impacts (both positive and negative) that these populations of beavers may bring, and to consider the management options going forward. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3638f2c-1daa-40c7-ac16-06be9b25781d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 21 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jan 2022 - 30 Apr 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 71324000 - Quantity surveying services - 71355000 - Surveying services - 79311100 - Survey design services - 79311300 - Survey analysis services - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90711300 - Environmental indicators analysis other than for construction - 90711500 - Environmental monitoring other than for construction - 90714000 - Environmental auditing - 90714400 - Activity specific environmental auditing services - 90720000 - Environmental protection - 92534000 - Wildlife preservation services ## Release History - 23 Nov 2021 at 18:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3638f2c-1daa-40c7-ac16-06be9b25781d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f3638f2c-1daa-40c7-ac16-06be9b25781d 23rd November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/ Link to e-Sourcing Portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
