This project falls under the research consultancy services category and is aimed at developing a methodology for creating a national inventory of nitrogen loads to groundwater. The tender is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 09:00 on October 29, 2021. The contract period is set to commence on November 8, 2021, and conclude on March 31, 2022. This opportunity is open to businesses located in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey, with an estimated value of £50,000 and a minimum bid value of £25,000. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research consultancy services, particularly those focusing on environmental assessments, agricultural impact studies, and waste management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement method allows for competitive quotations below the specified threshold. Firms that possess expertise in environmental data analysis and can provide innovative approaches to nitrogen load management will find this tender to be a lucrative avenue for business growth. ## Notice This project will develop a method for producing a national inventory of nitrogen loads to groundwater and heatmaps showing the contribution of different sectors spatially. This will address a gap in our understanding of the quantity and distribution of nitrogen loads to groundwater from sectors including agriculture, waste, water and planning, including those which are not directly permitted or are exempt. 3 study catchments known to be experiencing pressure from high nitrogen loads will be used to verify national estimates and to model leaching losses in order to identify good and poor practice and the associated impacts on local receptors. The findings will inform our regulatory approach. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Invitation to Quote and associated documents.
