This process is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. Interested parties must submit their contact details to Alison Dyson at al.dyson@environment-agency.gov.uk by 9:00 am on 1st September 2017 to receive the tender documentation. This procurement involves research and development services, with potential deliverables expected across various regions, including the United Kingdom and territories abroad. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in ecological research, environmental consultancy, and invasive species management. Companies with expertise in assessing ecological impacts and developing related solutions would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this process not only provides a chance to contribute to vital environmental work but also enables businesses to expand their portfolio through innovative projects in collaboration with a key governmental body. ## Notice Most of the tools we use to measure ecological status for WFD have been developed to indicate pressures other than Invasive Non Native Species (INNS). This means they vary in their response to INNS. As other pressures are managed, we expect that underlying INNS impacts will become more visible. This work aims to enable us to assess the impacts of invasive non-native species on ecology and on the ecological status of a water body as measured by the WFD. It should also improve our evidence base, enabling us to understand when our biological tools may have 'missed' an impact or provided a false signal, or which tools are likely to respond to which species. Additional information: Please read DS001-INNS - additional text for more information about this requirement (see attachment). If you could fulfil this brief and are interested in bidding for this work opportunity, please could you email Alison Dyson (al.dyson@environment-agency.gov.uk) your contact details (contact name, Company name and address, telephone and email address) by 9:00am on Friday 1st September 2017. Tender documentation will be issued to you to complete when ready and available. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84c62864-db49-4b56-a305-a67f8870c856 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 5AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 18 Aug 2017 at 15:16 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84c62864-db49-4b56-a305-a67f8870c856 - 17 Aug 2017 at 15:41 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84c62864-db49-4b56-a305-a67f8870c856 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84c62864-db49-4b56-a305-a67f8870c856 18th August 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5de2ac37-87b7-4da5-b90d-8c50f4cb043d DS001-INNS - additional text - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a52021cb-56c5-43b3-8522-84c5b46072fa DS001-INNS - additional text ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
