The procurement involves constructing wetlands at 5 sites in the River Wensum and Yare catchments area. The contract, with a value of GBP 25,000, requires suppliers to conduct site visits and provide brief reports on potential nutrient credit yields. The procurement method is limited, with a tender period ending on February 21, 2023. The contract period extends from February 23 to March 31, 2023. This tender by Natural England presents an opportunity for Environmental Engineering consultancies interested in nutrient neutrality projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in environmental engineering services are well-suited to compete. Businesses in the East of England, particularly in Norfolk, should explore this tender for potential growth opportunities. Respondents must submit tenders by 5pm on February 21, 2023, to secure a chance to work on this ecologically significant project. ## Notice The key deliverables for this contract will be: Five pre-feasibility assessments for holdings in the and Yare Wensum River catchments area of Norfolk (approximate location as per Annex 1). 1. Each pre-feasibility study will require a visit from a constructed wetland engineer, probably commencing with the landowner (or representative) providing them with an overview of the land and associated hydraulic pathways through the site, enabling them to focus on the areas with the greatest potential in terms of both credit nutrient yield and business objectives for the land. Depending on proximity to known water sampling points, it is also possible that water samples would be taken. Suppliers interested in bidding for the work should contact Mark Jones (mark.jones@naturalengland.org.uk) or Joe Forster (joseph.forster@naturalengland.org.uk) for further details regarding the 5 sites. The output for each site would be a very brief report (expected max 2 to 4 sides A4) including: * a map of the holding and the area(s) and areas of interest. * a description of the potential of the site, including barriers or potential 'show-stoppers' to the development of a constructed wetland. * an initial broad assessment of the potential nutrient credit yield range (ie the likely scale of the financial opportunity). 2. On completion of the site visits the supplier will rank the 5 sites in order of suitability in terms of both complexity/ease of delivery and likely nutrient yield. 3. Review of Constructed Wetland modelled GIS targeting data - Following the site visits we would ask the supplier to briefly review and reflect on natural England targeting data for the sites visited. - Brief report (ie 2 to 4 sides A4) Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Request for Quotation. Email clarification questions and your response to mark.jones@naturalengland.org.uk and jospeh.forster@naturalengland.org.uk. Clarification questions to be submitted by 17th February 2023, Tenders to be received no later than 5pm on February 21st 2023. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbe4f073-d8e6-490e-b313-27048154c1aa | | 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 | 13 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 21 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Feb 2023 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | BRIDGWATER | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | TA4 6YS | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services ## Release History - 13 Feb 2023 at 13:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbe4f073-d8e6-490e-b313-27048154c1aa - 8 Feb 2023 at 08:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbe4f073-d8e6-490e-b313-27048154c1aa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbe4f073-d8e6-490e-b313-27048154c1aa 13th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1160b9e7-f906-4d64-a799-783b99625b1d RFQ Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a0d9d07e-5d00-4dad-b695-6fa2ec1ead31 RFQ document ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
