## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently engaged in the Earth Observation Data Integration Project MIO7, aimed at developing a framework for assessing peatland habitat conditions and their implications for greenhouse gas accounting. This tender falls under the research services category and was published on 15 December 2016, with the tender period ending on 23 January 2017. The contract is set to commence on 10 February 2017 and will run until 29 September 2017. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing wide participation from potential bidders.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services and research, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in earth observation, data integration, and ecosystem services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could lead to further collaborations and advancements in innovative approaches to peatland management and carbon accounting.

## Notice

As part of the EODIP initiative, the Authority, Scottish Government and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee are seeking to develop a framework that will enable the use of Earth Observation data alongside data from other sources in order to assess peatland habitat condition. This framework would be cost effective to deploy and optimised to use the new time series of Sentinel data as well as other earth observation resources . In addition the project will test how earth observation can be used to scale up site level assessments of condition to provide a picture of the whole peatland resource and the implications for ecosystem services, particularly greenhouse gas dynamics. Ultimately this will assist in monitoring and managing the peatland resource as well as enabling consistent carbon accounting for peatland sites.
