## Summary

The West of England Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for monitoring and evaluating the Community Pollinator Fund, with a focus on assessing the impact on biodiversity, specifically flora and pollinator species. The procurement, classified under Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV: 73200000), was conducted through an open procedure below the threshold. This process, focusing on 10 to 15 sites out of more than 50 funded projects, commenced on 26th June 2023 and will run until 30th September 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £7,900, was granted to GECKOELLA LTD, with the procurement aimed at services located in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in ecological monitoring and research services. SMEs are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, given the targeted focus on biodiversity and the structured procurement process. Businesses with expertise in ecological surveys and those capable of conducting comprehensive evaluations of environmental projects can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolios and establish credibility in public sector projects.

## Notice

We are seeking ecological support to monitor and evaluate the Community Pollinator Fund funded project sites in order to quantitatively assess the impacts the Fund is having on biodiversity, specifically in relation to flora and pollinator species abundance and diversity. We are expecting to fund more than 50 projects but would focus on 10 to 15 sites for ecological surveys. Each site would need a maximum of 3 surveys across the remaining years of the Fund (2023 - 2025)
