The tender titled "Gathering evidence on Birds for the Species Evidence Base" falls under the industry category of research services. The procurement stage is at the tender stage, with a contract value of £5000 GBP. The deadline for responding to the Request for Quotation is 7th October 2022, and the contract period runs from 17th October 2022 to 27th February 2023. This tender offers an opportunity for businesses, especially those specializing in research services related to environmental conservation and species recovery, to compete for the contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate. Businesses interested in contributing to species recovery and environmental conservation through data collection and analysis for bird species should consider bidding for this opportunity. ## Notice The Species Evidence Base (SEB) will contain novel and useful information on species that can be queried and analysed. It will provide a command of the underlying species evidence, representing the first steps towards holistic species recovery within Natural England's Nature Recovery Network. It does so by centralising species information in one place in a novel and new way. This Species Evidence Base (SEB) will focus on important species listed in Environment Act targets, notably those associated with the abundance target and the extinction rate target. We require specialists to gather the data for Birds that includes 203 species (Species listed in Annex 1). Evidence gathered for each species is split into five categories: Trends, Habitats, Pressures, Climate Change and Actions. In total there will be approximately 50 fields that need addressing for each species (Provisional fields and parameters list in Annex 2) . For most fields, there will parameters on what can be entered- either Yes/No or multiple choice based on a range. Supplier will fill out the fields based on their current knowledge and understanding for each species. We do not expect there to be existing evidence for all the fields for all species and expect that supplier will use their expertise and experience of Birds to provide their best estimate. For more information on the HWNS tool or this project, please refer to the RfQ Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached Request for Quotation no later than 07/10/22. All queries must be sent by 03/10/22.
