## Summary

The procurement process for the "Nitrogen Futures" project is being managed by JNCC Support Co, located in Peterborough, England. This project seeks to enhance the UK's understanding of spatial targeting measures for reducing nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions, specifically addressing environmental services. The current stage of procurement is at the awarding phase, with the contract period scheduled from 5 August 2019 to 27 March 2020. The tender was published on 21 June 2019, and the tender submission deadline was 19 July 2019. The estimated value of the contract is £140,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the environmental services sector, particularly those specialising in ecological research, emissions assessment, and environmental policy implementation. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in testing and optimising emission reductions, particularly in relation to biodiversity and protected habitats, would be ideally positioned to compete for this contract. The project aims to provide significant insights into emission reduction policies that could benefit ecosystems over the next decades, making it a valuable opportunity for organisations focused on sustainability and conservation.

## Notice

This project aims to update and develop the UK evidence base on the effectiveness of the spatial targeting of mitigation measures for atmospheric nitrogen oxides and ammonia; testing and optimising emission reductions to achieve greatest benefits to ecosystems. This is to inform the targeting of policy in the context of the UK leaving the EU and the implementation of domestic priorities on local, country and UK level in relation to: * reducing total UK nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions to achieve emission targets * maximising the benefits at local and landscape scales for protected sites, priority habitats and ecosystems. Air pollution, in particular atmospheric nitrogen deposition, is recognised as a major pressure on biodiversity in the UK and a significant threat to protected nature conservation sites , . Many habitats of nature conservation importance in the UK are sensitive to additional reactive nitrogen received from the atmosphere, with effects on both ecosystem structure and function. There is a large evidence base showing that nitrogen deposition has caused changes in the natural environment, both on protected areas and on a large scale in the "wider countryside" across the UK. The UK's report under Article 17 of the Habitats Directive showed atmospheric nitrogen deposition contributes to the unfavourable conservation status of many habitats. The project helps quantify the level of benefit to ecosystems provided by potential emission reduction policies to 2030, 2040 and beyond.
