This procurement, aligned with the classification of detection and analysis apparatus (CPV code 38430000), seeks to support biodiversity conservation efforts and sustainable practices. The project aims to generate critical long-term data to inform ecosystem management and conservation strategies. The procurement is open to suppliers via an open procedure, with a tender submission deadline of 13 December 2024. The contract, valued between GBP 50,000 and GBP 100,000, will commence on 6 January 2025 and conclude on 30 January 2025. The location for the delivery of the goods is London, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental monitoring equipment, particularly those with experience in supplying durable, field-ready dataloggers. SMEs with a focus on innovative water measurement solutions, although not explicitly targeted, may still find this a valuable opportunity due to the emphasis on sustainability and biodiversity. Engaging in this project can enhance a company's profile by contributing to high-profile global environmental initiatives led by RBG Kew. Additionally, businesses adept at producing precision measurement tools that can withstand challenging environments such as tropical peatlands would be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 29 November 2024 for the following reason: contract is suitable to SMEs(Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ('RBG Kew') is setting this procurement to acquire durable, waterproof dataloggers designed to measure water table depth and which are suitable for tropical peatlands as part of our new Global Centre for Biodiversity and Climate (GCBC) project "Using biodiversity to support climate resilient livelihoods in intact tropical peatlands". The devices will provide long-term, accurate data critical for understanding water level fluctuations in these carbon-rich ecosystems, which are vulnerable to climate change and deforestation. Installation, data analysis, and cloud storage are excluded from this contract. The initiative aligns with RBG Kew's goals of advancing scientific research in biodiversity conservation and supporting sustainable practices, contributing to global policy efforts. The need for this technology arose from a study identifying peatlands as vulnerable ecosystems to recent increases in severe flooding and drought events that threaten peatland species and the livelihoods of people who depend on them. By acquiring these dataloggers, this project aims to generate data that will inform future ecosystem management of resilient useful species to climate change and conservation strategies in tropical peatlands.) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9b12efb-0695-4626-848a-7259c2a8eebf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 13 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Jan 2025 - 30 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW | | Locality | RICHMOND | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW9 3AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kew | | Westminster constituency | Richmond Park | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) ### Codes - 38430000 - Detection and analysis apparatus ## Release History - 29 Nov 2024 at 10:35 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9b12efb-0695-4626-848a-7259c2a8eebf - 22 Nov 2024 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9b12efb-0695-4626-848a-7259c2a8eebf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c9b12efb-0695-4626-848a-7259c2a8eebf 29th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-LONDON:-RBGKEW1361---Acquisition-of-loggers-to-measure-water-level /M2V5K5TMTE Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-LONDON:-RBGKEW1361---Acquisition-of-loggers-to-measure-water-level ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
