This procurement falls under the Marine survey services category and is currently in the active stage. The contract value is 45,000 GBP, with a tender deadline of July 17, 2023. The contract period is set to start on July 25, 2023, and end on March 4, 2024. This tender by Natural England presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the services sector, to engage in assessing blue carbon stocks and accumulation rates. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited for this tender. With a focus on environmental conservation and climate change mitigation, businesses involved in marine surveys and data analysis would find this opportunity aligning with their expertise and services. ## Notice The aim of this contract will be to assess the blue carbon stocks and accumulation rates of the Humber Estuary and The Wash and North Norfolk Coast SACs, with the intention to provide data to fill wider evidence gaps around intertidal blue carbon stocks of the intertidal sediment habitats in England. This area of research has been identified by marine specialists in Natural England's Marine Habitats and Species team within the Chief Scientist's Directorate as a key priority, aligning with multiple disciplines including natural capital and climate change. Additional information: This contract is divided into three distinct "phases", please provide a separate quote for each phase detailed below. 1, Field survey) Sediment coring, replicating NE's internal sediment carbon survey methodologies and ensuring data is comparable, the details of sediment coring protocol is detailed in the RFQ: 2, Data Analysis) Quantification of carbon stocks (e.g. Total Organic Carbon, Total Inorganic Carbon, TON/ TIN, using elemental analysis), accumulation rates and , grain size, etc: 3, Reporting) Clear and concise project report., raw carbon data on stocks and accumulation rates on .xls format, maps on JPEG format. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bab7f4e-0255-420e-a6fe-40e1a825bd16 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Jul 2023 - 4 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | 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 | NATURAL ENGLAND | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 7PX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Guildhall | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71354500 - Marine survey services ## Release History - 6 Jul 2023 at 15:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bab7f4e-0255-420e-a6fe-40e1a825bd16 - 29 Jun 2023 at 14:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bab7f4e-0255-420e-a6fe-40e1a825bd16 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2bab7f4e-0255-420e-a6fe-40e1a825bd16 6th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b9efdef2-9c23-467d-8269-e9a591f6e7b1 RFQ document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/31160f39-eb72-4f69-a475-ee25c9f72f8f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/71ab30ec-53cd-4bf3-a055-0d73f34faf5c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2b768eb8-57fd-4be4-84d8-52d8d03ba159 RFQ document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
