## Summary

Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The second phase of the development of Ecohydrological Guidelines for blanket bog and associated habitat requires conceptual models to be applied to pilot sites using existing datasets. Phase 2 builds on the previous scoping study (FY19-20) for which a final report is available, and future development stages are anticipated. The eventual product will better define the diverse eco-hydrological characteristics of what is often regarded as a homogenous ombrotrophic feature. The new suite of upland ecohydrological guidelines will complement those already existing for the lowlands and will be used by partners across the UK to support regulatory decision making. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached request for quotation pack and associated documents. Send your response to: katharine.birdsall@environment-agency.gov.uk no later than midday on Friday 7th October 2022. Please include "RFQ Eco-hydrological guidelines" within the subject title.
