This is classified under environmental services and is set in the East of England, United Kingdom. The tender period is open until 26 October 2021, and the total contract value is £80,000. This project forms part of a broader initiative funded by the Conflict, Stability & Security Fund aimed at enhancing economic resilience through improved environmental planning in UK Overseas Territories. This opportunity is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental consultancy, geographic information systems (GIS), and related sectors. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in flood risk assessment and nature-based solutions will find potential for growth here, as the project seeks innovation in addressing coastal and inland flood risks while promoting sustainable economic planning in vulnerable regions. Competing firms will have the chance to contribute to significant ecological and infrastructural improvements in the Caribbean region. ## Notice The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) is a UK Overseas Territory located in the tropical Atlantic Ocean around 900 km southeast of Florida. The archipelago of over 40 low-lying, limestone islands covers 950 km2 and supports numerous endangered, endemic, or range-restricted species and rare habitats. Population concentration in coastal areas and the location of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Atlantic hurricane belt makes storm surge a significant hazard (Bray et al. 2019). Hurricane Irma for example led to peak surge of over 6 m (University of the West Indies 2017; Williams et al. 2018), damaging built infrastructure and natural capital assets (Government of the Virgin Islands 2017). It is therefore important to understand how nature-based solutions may attenuate storm surge and improve resilience in TCI. The 2016 Conflict, Stability & Security Fund (CSSF) funded programme of work, 'Enhancing economic security through environmental resilience' in the UK Overseas Territories (OTs) aimed to improve long-term economic planning to support growth and development. Embedding the role of the natural environment in economic and spatial planning through existing or new policies or legislation was one element, with the objective to protect and enhance the value of the OTs vital natural environment. The suite of projects undertaken mapped and valued the natural assets by integrating satellite data, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and economic assessments of the priority environmental goods and services (derived from natural capital). Relevant to this contract is a GIS-based model that was developed to assess vulnerability to storm surge and flooding events and their impacts on infrastructure and human life in the British Virgin Islands. For more information see: https://jncc.gov.uk/our-work/natural-capital-in-the-caribbean-uk-overseas-territories/. This suite of JNCC CSSF-funded projects had the following objectives: * establish the Total Economic Value (TEV) of the terrestrial and marine natural environment to each participating Territory; * identify the priority natural capital assets and measurable attributes (Natural Capital Metrics) to monitor changes in value through time; * integrate natural capital valuations into national mapping (GIS) to define the spatial distribution of these natural assets (Value Mapping) and to promote the integration of such valuations into planning and policy making to improve long-term economic growth. This current phase (2021/22) of CSSF project work builds on this earlier work, which is now being applied in additional, disaster-vulnerable, OTs in the Caribbean.
