The procurement falls under the research and development services category with a contract value of £47,185. This open procedure tender has a submission deadline of 16/06/2023 and a contract period starting on 20/06/2023 and ending on 15/03/2024, taking place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender by Natural England presents an opportunity for businesses interested in research and development services related to ecological projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are suitably positioned to compete for this opportunity. The tender allows potential suppliers to contribute their expertise in environmental conservation to facilitate the removal of barriers to salmon migration, benefiting the broader natural processes of the River Avon. ## Notice A detailed understanding of the barriers to fish migration in the lower Avon will enable members of the Hampshire Avon Catchment Partnership to deliver a coordinated plan of action to ease or remove the barriers presenting the highest risk to the species within 3 years upon completion of these investigations. The outcome of feasibility studies is that there is a strong likelihood of a barrier being ready for removal. Detailed designs and capital works are subject to actions and costings detailed from the feasibility study.
