This open tender is currently in the active stage and is set to close on 17th August 2020. The contract will commence on 25th August 2020 and is expected to run until 25th February 2021. The project involves conducting a repeat condition monitoring survey of coastal lagoons, located in the Solent and Isle of Wight region, with the goal of updating the habitat condition assessment. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in ecological surveying and monitoring. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their involvement can lead to business growth in the environmental sector. Companies that specialise in aquatic studies, biodiversity assessments, or similar ecological surveys would find this procurement well-suited to their capabilities. ## Notice The Solent, on the south coast of England, encompasses a series of coastal lagoons, including percolation, isolated and sluiced lagoons. The site includes a number of lagoons in the marshes in the Keyhaven - Pennington area, at Farlington Marshes in Chichester Harbour, behind the sea-wall at Bembridge Harbour and at Gilkicker, near Gosport. The lagoons show a range of salinities and substrates, ranging from soft mud to muddy sand with a high proportion of shingle, which support a diverse fauna including large populations of three notable species: the nationally rare foxtail stonewort Lamprothamnium papulosum, the nationally scarce lagoon sand shrimp Gammarus insensibilis, and the nationally scarce starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. The lagoons in Keyhaven - Pennington Marshes are part of a network of ditches and ponds within the saltmarsh behind a sea-wall. Farlington Marshes is an isolated lagoon in marsh pasture that, although separated from the sea by a sea-wall, receives sea water during spring tides. The lagoon holds a well-developed low-medium salinity insect-dominated fauna. Gilkicker Lagoon is a sluiced lagoon with marked seasonal salinity fluctuation and supports a high species diversity. The lagoons at Bembridge Harbour have formed in a depression behind the sea-wall and sea water enters by percolation. Species diversity in these lagoons is high and the fauna includes very high densities of N. vectensis. Natural England wishes to commission a repeat condition monitoring survey, following the surveys conducted in 2013 by Bamber et al. (2013), of twenty coastal lagoons within the Solent and Isle of Wight region, to be conducted during summer/autumn 2020. Survey data will inform the update to the condition assessment for the Solent & Isle of Wight Lagoons SAC and Solent Maritime SAC planned for Spring 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d515add-cb47-4986-bedd-1e7c877e9f16 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 17 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Aug 2020 - 25 Feb 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2020 at 11:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d515add-cb47-4986-bedd-1e7c877e9f16 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d515add-cb47-4986-bedd-1e7c877e9f16 24th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
