## Summary

The Broads Authority is seeking tenders for the "Grazing Marsh Aquatic Plant and Invertebrate Ditch Survey 2018," aimed at evaluating the biodiversity of grazing marsh ditches in the Waveney Valley. The tender period concluded on 25th September 2017, and the contract was awarded on 26th September 2017 for a total value of £28,675. This procurement falls under the category of research and development services, using an open procedure, with execution expected to take place from 1st June 2018 to 31st May 2019, in the East of England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for ecological and environmental consultancies, particularly those specialising in aquatic ecosystems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in biodiversity assessments, waterway surveys, and ecological studies would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in such projects not only helps businesses establish a footprint in the environmental sector but also opens the door to future collaborations with public authorities looking to enhance biodiversity in their regions.

## Notice

As part of the Broads Water Mills and Marshes Landscape Partnership the Broads Authority has an exciting opportunity to evaluate the current biodiversity value of the grazing marsh ditches in the Waveney valley. A survey of the aquatic plants and invertebrates of the ditches will be carried out, revisiting many of those sites surveyed some 20 years previously. The Authority invites tenders from those contractors able to undertake freshwater aquatic plant and invertebrate ditch surveys. The tender document contains details of the survey work, data analysis and reporting to be undertaken, as well as submission requirements and contractual details.
