Located in Whitehill & Bordon, Hampshire, the procurement process falls under the services category, specifically focusing on market research services. Currently in the active tender stage, proposals must be submitted by 11th June 2021. The contract is set to commence on 7th July 2021 and run until 30th November 2021. This open procurement process allows interested parties to engage through a below-threshold open procedure. This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in market research and environmental assessments. Companies that specialise in visitor surveys, ecological studies, or community engagement are particularly well-suited to compete for this project. Engaging with this contract not only aids in improving the visitor experience in natural spaces but also contributes to the sustainable development goals of local authority initiatives. ## Notice The town of Whitehill & Bordon, in Hampshire, is undergoing major transformation to become a green, healthy and connected town. The town is within 5km of the Wealden Heath Phase II Special Protection Area (SPA) and Shortheath Common Special Area of Conservation (SAC). To mitigate any likely significant effects of the town's expansion and regeneration on the integrity of the SPA, SAC and other countryside sites, two Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspaces (SANG) and a series of Strategic Access Management and Monitoring (SAMM) measures have been established. The latter requires the provision of visitor surveys which is the basis of this Invitation to Quote. The South Downs National Park Authority and its partners wish to appoint a contractor to carry out these visitor surveys at multiple countryside sites.
