This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing environmental services, especially those experienced in systematic conservation planning for climate change considerations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. By participating, businesses can contribute to strategic prioritization of protected site strategies in line with climate change resilience criteria, enhancing ecological coherence and adaptation to climate change. ## Notice The aim of this project is to test the SCP approach on the terrestrial SSSI designation programme at a national scale. Also to consider potential use of the SCP approach as applied to SSSI designation for prioritisation of future locally-based Protected Site Strategies which address a variety of pressures on Protected Sites (link to NE blogpost). The SSSI designation programme is concerned with land identified for inclusion in the terrestrial SSSI designation programme by Natural England for inclusion in the SSSI series, based on its opinion that the land may be of 'special interest' by reason of its wildlife (habitats and species) geology, and/or geomorphology. This project will explore SCP's utility to assess how well the current SSSI series, and the currently proposed and potential future SSSI designations support the series ecological coherence and adaptation to climate change through strategic prioritisation, based on 1 a-e (the criteria for ensuring climate change resilience of protected sites, pages 20-21) and current and future climate projections. The current SSSI designation programme includes proposals for coastal, alkaline fen, woodland & parkland, lowland grassland and heathland habitats, plus bird, bat, vascular plant and waxcap fungi species. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7da014c4-d4b8-42be-a790-e1856bad9bfd | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 20 Sep 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Nov 2023 | | Contract period | 9 Nov 2023 - 8 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £137,281 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATURAL ENGLAND | | Additional buyers | NTURAL ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | UNIVERSITY OF YORK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 27 Nov 2023 at 07:26 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7da014c4-d4b8-42be-a790-e1856bad9bfd - 23 Nov 2023 at 16:22 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/563f3a85-ad77-4cfe-92a8-780a864c1681 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7da014c4-d4b8-42be-a790-e1856bad9bfd 27th November 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/563f3a85-ad77-4cfe-92a8-780a864c1681 23rd November 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5e7561ee-cd61-4eea-8820-21f9bdcd3aca C21762 - contract_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d81c89fc-33db-46f4-9b82-60ccf1f09c66 C21762 - contract_Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
