This procurement process, categorised under endangered species protection services, is located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The open procedure is currently in the Tender stage, with applications due by 24th June 2019, allowing potential suppliers to submit proposals for the development of environmentally sensitive farm plans aimed at conserving aquatic habitats in the River Esk catchment. The contract is planned to commence on 1st July 2019 and will conclude on 29th November 2019, with an overall budget of £10,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, agricultural planning, or ecological services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate in this process. The focus on creating bespoke farm plans that prioritise biodiversity and water conservation could attract firms experienced in sustainable farming practices, habitat restoration, and pollution prevention measures. Engaging in this project could drive growth by expanding service offerings and enhancing local biodiversity efforts. ## Notice The North York Moors National Park Authority (NYMNPA) has secured Water Environment Grant (WEG) funding as part of our River Esk catchment restoration programme. The aim of the Esk WEG Project is to restore and conserve aquatic and riparian habitats and species of the River Esk catchment, focusing specifically on the critically endangered freshwater pearl mussel, Atlantic salmon and sea trout. The purpose of this brief is to seek the Works of suitably qualified Consultants to undertake one to one farm advice visits within the Esk WEG area to produce bespoke environmentally sensitive plans for farm holdings in the River Esk Catchment. Farming with nature will be at the heart of the plans and nature conservation of the River Esk is the focus of the work. Areas to highlight include but are not limited to: - Connectivity of the riparian habitat and terrestrial environment - Water retention and filtration - Restoration of a functioning flood plain - Diffuse pollution prevention measures - Separation of clean and dirty water, including rainwater recycling options The farm plans will be used by the NYMNPA to prioritise and target funds on a catchment scale to support conservation and farm infrastructure enhancement works, to benefit riparian and aquatic habitats and species. Following the identification of works in farm plans more detailed enhanced farm plans may be required. Again a Consultant will be engaged to provide specifications on complex and bespoke measures, such as large sediment ponds and traps, constructed wetlands and technical yard works. Please see Section 3: Contract Specification in the attached quotation document for more details. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87d6b7a5-591d-4fb2-bff3-520f804aa0d7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2019 - 29 Nov 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | 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 | NORTH YORK MOORS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | | Locality | HELMSLEY | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO62 5BP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Helmsley & Sinnington | | Westminster constituency | Thirsk and Malton | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90721700 - Endangered species protection services ## Release History - 17 May 2019 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87d6b7a5-591d-4fb2-bff3-520f804aa0d7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/87d6b7a5-591d-4fb2-bff3-520f804aa0d7 17th May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY157228 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
