The procurement process involves commissioning bird surveys to inform habitat suitability modelling for specific species. The contract is set to start on 04/09/2023 and will run for 29 weeks until 26/03/2024. Interested parties need to submit their quotations by 9 am on 21 August 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services and related consultancy services. Specifically, companies with expertise in wildlife surveys and habitat analysis would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process is in the "open procedure" stage, with a focus on the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. ## Notice Natural England wishes to commission passage and wintering bird surveys during September 2023 to March 2024, across terrestrial land with a potential to provide supporting habitat for bird species associated with the Humber Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA)/ Ramsar. These surveys will be used to inform habitat suitability modelling for golden plover, curlew and lapwing and therefore a methodology has been proposed to systematically sample areas within a 10km radius of the Humber Estuary in Yorkshire. Please find further information within the project specification. The contract is anticipated to start on 04/09/2023 for a period of 29 weeks, until 26/03/2024.
