## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal as the buying organisation, seeking to contract services for the project titled "Lot 9 Environmental Stewardship Monitoring and Evaluation Framework." This initiative aims to survey priority grasslands in England, with the contract valued at £77,550. The procurement method used is a selective procedure, and the contract period begins on 8th June 2017 and concludes on 30th March 2018. This award was published on 12th July 2017, following its active status since 2nd June 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental monitoring and research services, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in ecological studies. Companies that specialise in data collection, analysis, and conservation-focused services would be particularly well-suited to engage with this contract, leveraging their skills to contribute to crucial environmental assessments aligned with national biodiversity strategies.

## Notice

The purpose of the procurement is to commission a survey of a sample of semi-natural lowland grasslands focusing on habitats that are priorities for conservation under the Government's Biodiversity Strategy. These are an iconic but threatened group of habitats. The project will build on a baseline survey undertaken in 2003 to gather data on the extent and condition of a sample of non-statutory priority grasslands in England. A resurvey now will provide evidence for the current conservation status of these grasslands and on the impact and effectiveness of interventions under Environmental Stewardship in conserving them. The data collected will help to fulfil national and international reporting requirements and provide a useful reference point for assessment of grassland conservation under Natural England's recently launched Conservation 21 strategy.
