This project falls under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV code 73200000) and aims to investigate how photosynthetic energy moves through conceptual pools in agro-ecosystems. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at approximately GBP 34,853.97, runs from 13th January 2025 to 28th March 2025 and covers multiple regions, including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The project is in the award stage as of 10th March 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and development services, especially those focusing on ecological and environmental assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the nature of the work and the emphasis on ecosystem functionality and biodiversity. Engaging in this contract can provide substantial growth opportunities for businesses by enhancing their portfolio of government contracts and contributing to high-impact ecological research.

## Notice

This project will reserach, develop and populate a framwork for understanding how photosynthetic energy moves through conceptual pools in agroecosystems and will use this as a way to evaluate how diversion of energy flows are likely to be affecting ecosystem function and biodiversity in these systems. It will produce a written report.
