## Summary

The Environment Agency has awarded a contract for the project "RDE589 National saltmarsh nutrient survey 2024-2025" to UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. The procurement method was selective, with a total contract value of £114,947.37. The tender period ended on 24th June 2024, and the contract period spans from 1st July 2024 to 31st March 2025.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses offering research and development consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in ecosystem assessments and nutrient studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMES) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are suitable to compete. The project aims to enhance the evidence of ecosystem services in coastal habitats, focusing on saltmarsh denitrification processes across various marshes in the UK.

## Notice

As part of Year 3 of the marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment Programme (mNCEA), the Environment Agency are running a project called the Land-Sea Interface (LSI), which aims to improve the evidence of ecosystem services in key estuarine and coastal habitats, such as saltmarsh, seagrass and shellfish beds. This project will build on last year's work (2023-2024) and aims to address the evidence gap in the rate at which nutrients (N and P) are removed from the water column and sediments by saltmarsh habitats, with a focus on N loss through denitrification. Specifically, it will target the evidence gap of how different marshes across the country with different characteristics (particularly sediment types) influence denitrification. The evidence from this project can then be fed into Cefa's Combined Phytoplankton- Macroalgae (CPM) model. This will enable us to better understand the full range of services and benefits provided by our saltmarsh natural capital assets.
