The tender is open for submission of quotations until 14/12/2023, with a contract period from 15/12/2023 to 15/03/2024. The opportunity is located in the East of England and aims to extend the hydrological and vegetation monitoring network. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold. This tender by Natural England presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the research and development consultancy services industry, to participate in a project focusing on water-stressed areas in Norfolk and Suffolk. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are suited for this tender due to its focus on environmental research and sustainable development. Businesses need to submit quotations meeting the RFQ requirements by the deadline to compete for the contract. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE: the closing date for this notice has been extended to 14/12/23. Norfolk and Suffolk are among the most water stressed areas of the country and have a high proportion of the country's water dependent priority habitats such as Alkaline Fens. Within this area, the Broads SAC/ SPA/ Ramsar is a the largest and most connected suite of sites. Since 2016, NE has worked with partners to deploy linked hydrological and vegetation monitoring transects to understand these relationships better and look at spatial and temporal change. This contract is aimed at extending that network by the redeployment of 'spare' loggers at new, strategic locations. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached.
