This tender falls under the industry category of Marine research services and requires the collation of existing data on intertidal peat, the development of a data standard, and the creation of a spatial dataset. The procurement is at the Tender stage, with submissions required by 23:59 on 13 September 2024. Key dates include a project start on 16 September 2024 and an end date of 28 February 2025. The project is situated in the United Kingdom and employs an open procedure procurement method, with a contract value of £41,650. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute to important environmental research and development projects. Companies specialising in geospatial data, marine research, and data standardisation will find this contract particularly beneficial for business growth. Moreover, participation in this project could enhance the successful bidder's portfolio and establish valuable relationships with Natural England, a prominent contracting authority dedicated to environmental conservation and research. ## Notice The following contract opportunity invites suitably experienced suppliers to work with Natural England to collate existing data on intertidal peat, to develop a data standard, and to create an initial spatial dataset (i.e. digital map layer(s) of intertidal peat) for subsequent enhancement. This spatial dataset will be used to support the mNCEA programme by providing both a preliminary indication of the location, extent and character of peat in intertidal areas; and by providing standards that will enable the development of more comprehensive maps of peat in coastal and marine contexts as resources allow.
