This tender is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submission set for 3rd October 2018. The work will take place across designated sites in the UK, specifically focusing on evaluating the carbon impacts of peat restoration efforts across three Special Areas of Conservation in Cumbria. The contract period is anticipated to begin on 29th October 2018 and conclude by 31st May 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, especially those involved in carbon assessment and environmental impact analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in greenhouse gas monitoring, environmental auditing, and ecological restoration are well-suited to compete for this contract. The aim is to assess long-term carbon sequestration potential, which could lead to further projects in ecosystem services related to climate change mitigation and sustainability. ## Notice Natural England are looking to procure work to assess the carbon stored at three SAC sites (Bolton Fell Moss, South Solway Mosses and Roudsea Wood and Mosses), how carbon storage may change in the future and what impact restoration has had on carbon storage The objectives are: - A desk based evaluation of the impact restoration works have had on peat stabilisation, peat formation, greenhouse gas emissions (including methane) and carbon storage, across the three sites restored through the Cumbria BogLIFE+ project. - Evaluation of the longer term (50 - 100 Years) potential of the three sites to reinstate the ecosystem service of net carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. This should include: o An Estimate of carbon stocks held within each site. This should include both carbon stored in the peat and above ground carbon and projected over 50-100 years. o An Estimate of greenhouse gas fluxes from each site (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and combined as CO2 equivalent) and projected over 50-100 years - An estimation of the economic value of carbon sequestration at each of the sites, for the current project period and long term projections (50 - 100 years).
