## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is conducting a tender for the "Review of the Aculeate Hymenoptera of GB", classified under marine research services and environmental monitoring. This open procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the contract period starting on 6th July 2017 and concluding on 30th August 2018. Key deliverables include a preliminary report due by 15th January 2018 and a final report by 30th December 2018, both to be submitted to Natural England. The tender notice was published on 30th May 2017, and the submission deadline was set for 27th June 2017, so businesses must have been actively engaged earlier in the process to participate.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in research services, environmental monitoring, and technology solutions. Businesses with expertise in handling ecological data, preparing environmental reports, and developing strategic reviews for biodiversity conservation would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tendering process. Engaging in such projects not only enhances the enterprise's portfolio but also contributes positively to environmental sustainability efforts in the UK.
